Description
PRINT AVAILABLE AT: shop.alicexz.com “Oh Amy, I hear the song of your sadness.”“I’m not sad.”
“Then why are you crying?”
A painting I spent many, many hours streaming , this is my tribute to the magnificent Amy Pond, who inspired Vincent van Gogh in her adventures with the Doctor. I hope if Amy stayed with Vincent longer he might've painted something like this - something that showed her inner sadness, something he could empathize with. This work is part of my official Doctor Who series.
Little disclaimer because someone made a nasty comment! I researched van Gogh paintings like Starry Night and his Sunflowers series for this work, but I'm not claiming to be an Impressionist nor am I saying I am anywhere near as skilled as the great painter himself... this piece is a conceptual work, done with my own artistic style and choices with some influence that's meant to recall van Gogh's style. Reference from the episode "Vincent and the Doctor" from Season 5.

When it comes to art one can argue successfully that the only real skill is weather or not you can convey the ideas or emotions you want. I would personally like to say that I think its good, however, if you ask me, Donas story was way more sad!

Omg I immediately thought "Karen Gillan" and "that episode with van Gogh" before I even read the description. Good work!

Beautiful tribute. You did a marvelous job capturing that "Van Gogh feel" I think, while remaining true to your own sense of colors - the way the swirls form that little teal/rust gradient is something else. Amy's hair is rendered beautifully, and the streaks of teal are a nice touch (although... they look a little like she has her hair colored!

Had seen and enjoyed some of your work previously, but had not been aware of this one until I saw it RTd this morning by Karen Gillan. ( twitter.com/vanesapaez/status/… ) Very nice use of light and color - I like it a lot.

It'd be cool if you did a painting of Rory Williams protecting Amy Pond inside the Pandorica for almost 2,000 years!

I love the impressionistic background with the more realistic person. The colours help tie the two styles together quite well.

Ugh. This wasn't necessarily one of my favorite seasons, or even one of my favorite companions or Doctors, but that particular episode broke my heart into tiny little pieces. And this painting makes my heart break all over again. (In a good way.)
