I return to the Van Gogh exhibition space to paint my version of Starry Night onto a T-shirt. I take my time to do my masterpiece -- 2½ hours instead of the estimated 30 minutes. How long did Van Gogh spend on his Starry Night? Surely more than half an hour. The result pleases me. The addition of scattered stars cover up paint splatters and mistakes, but they elevate the shirt from normal to fun. I place a tail on one orb to represent the comet of recent times: the Neowise. The $40 shirt is almost as priceless to me as the original work.
