Starry Night


Starry Night by Van Gogh & Chris August

I made the following for a friend of mine who has everything she needs. I started with one plan and quickly evolved to what it became. I took one of my favorite song lyrics and placed it over a painting using vinyl letters. I then painted over it with a few coats and peeled the stickers off. The letters protect the painting and the images comes through the words.


1. Gather Supplies.
  • Painting - I picked up a 16x20 poster from Michael's and chose Starry Night by Van Gogh.
  • Spray & Acrylic Paint - I went with white but any color will work
  • Vinyl Letters - found at Michael's. For this project, I got the 1" letters. The package said they were permanent but I had no problems peeling them off.
  • Yard Stick
  • Frame - Got a 16x20 Frame from Hobby Lobby
  • Quote - I went with one of my favorite songs by Chris August.
    • I'm giving my life to the only one who made the moon reflect the sun. Every starry night that was his design.
