Olive Trees With Yellow Sky And Sun
Inspired by the work of his close friend, collaborator, and frequent-correspond, Paul Gaugin, Vincent Van Gogh’s created a really epiphanic recreation of an all-natural scene in Olive Trees with Yellow Sky and Sun.

His aforementioned close friends had actually recently created variants on the style of Christ in the yard of Gethsemane, where the Biblical figure faced his betrayal at the hands of Judas.
Van Gogh, nonetheless, attempted to reveal the remaining anguish of the scene while preventing any kind of reference to Jesus.

In one of his constant letters to his brother Theo, Van Gogh coupled his variations on the olive groves with the collection of paints of stellar skies he produced around the very same time. He stated the olive series to be a daytime companion to The Starry Evening, staying clear of any kind of adherence to photographic recreation, and emphasizing color patterns derived from the rhythms of nature. With the wide outlines affected by the woodblock traditions of Hokusai and the distinctive information of his Irises, Van Gogh painted the globe outside the doors of his asylum in which he was dedicated for therapy.

His work of the time is haunting and enthusiastic, positive and ominous, fine-tuned in its presence and devastating effects. With a dynamic color combination, Van Gogh brings life to this bright landscape.
The planet is red-brown and orange, as the sun casts a light blue and black shadow. The tree trunks are brown with black and marked shapes. The mountain in the far background is a tiny location for the viewer to cool off, painted in light blue? as the shadows. The sky is bright yellow with flecks of circular brush strokes and features a sun with an orange halo.
