Van Gogh Influence - Starry Night

When I first came to Hartwick College, I noticed that the view of the mountains and valley closely resembled a scene from VanGogh's "Starry Night."  Since I am greatly influenced by VanGogh, I decided to create a drawing of the scene from Hartwick using VanGogh's technique.  I used oil pastels instead of paint because I have a bit more experience with them.  I used the fast, short brushstrokes that VanGogh is known for, and used the same design for the sky that is in his piece.  I added in some details that are unique to Hartwick, like the shape of the buildings in the valley and the type of tree in the foreground.
