Night Cafe

Oil, 110 x 85 cm, Sept 2003, collection of Colin Lim
There were two paintings that I fell in love with instantly when I was a kid receiving my first art book as present. First was van Gogh's Night Cafe and second one was the Garden of Giverny from Monnet. This replica of Night Cafe is nowhere near the master's standard. However working on it gave me the excitement that van Gogh experienced when he first arrived in Paris. He stayed in a small apartment round the corner of this cafe.
