Description Here is a study drawing of a famous painting. Van Gogh is one of my favorite artists. I love to study the old masters. There is ALLOT we can learn from them. When ever I create these study's, I try not copy an old masters art slavishly; rather I try to understand and learn from them.

"All the past, up to a moment ago is your legacy. You have the works of the ancient masters, those of the student next to you, the remark dropped a moment ago; all is experience.
RACE THIS EXPERIENCE."
Robert Henri

Oval pen and ink drawing.

A lot of people think the song's title is "Starry Starry Night", which is the name of THE painting that Van Gogh was best known for.

Everybody needs someone to rag them. I have one who I fight with all over here and FA too. We get into some pretty involved exchanges of insults. It's a lot of fun trying to one-up each other!

Fur Affinity- a great site for anthro and furry fandom! A lot of people have pages on both. I am "rabbitfangs" over there and Liane is my fursona so I usually post as a rabbit. Here's my page link if you'd like to check the site out. [link] Let me know what you think!


And yeah, me and Speckled-Paws duke it out here and there pretty much constantly and it IS a lot of fun.

btw I just watched you. You seem like a pretty friendly sort and this way I can keep track of you!
