THE YELLOW FELLOWSHIP is our way of paying tribute to one of the greatest artists that ever lived...VINCENT VAN GOGH

Our goal is to celebrate his influence on modern art by creating new works inspired by the master

You can create your own version of a Van Gogh work in your style

OR
You can create an original work in Van Goghs' style

At the end of July, we will attempt to feature your works in any available space around DA and the rest of the interwebs

just because we want to share the awesomeness!
This is not a competition [we are too poor

], it is merely an attempt to pay tribute and share the wonders of VanGoghism

The name of our mission is The Yellow Fellowship because Yellow was VG's favourite colour

and Fellowship is the goal...a fellowship of artists celebrating a fellow artist

So call ourselves Yellow Fellows

or Mellow Yellows

and lets start creating!!!
It can be oil, acrylic, photography, collage, sculpture...anything goes!!

When your masterpiece is complete and uploaded, just send the link to
myself

or

and we will cobble them into the greatest exhibition ever seen

on August 31st 2012.
Let's show some love for the man who started modern art!!
GO VEE GEES!!!!!!!

On how he saw the world: Look at the sky. It's not dark and black and without character. The black is, in fact deep blue. And over there: lighter blue and blowing through the blues and blackness the winds swirling through the air and then shining, burning, bursting through: the stars! And you see how they roar their light. Everywhere we look, the complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes.
And the impact he's had on the world: ...to me Van Gogh is the finest painter of them all. Certainly the most popular, great painter of all time. The most beloved, his command of colour most magnificent. He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world, no one had ever done it before. Perhaps no one ever will again. To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence was not only the world's greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived.
