Van Gogh Matted and Framed

Here is my Van Gogh-"Starry Night" matted and framed! I got the frame with the matte at Michael's for $10.00 on SALE!!!

Starry Night, Artist, Me

Okay, yes I have to give Van Gogh credit, of course, but I did this pastel version of "Starry Night" last night.  We had 1 hour to create our masterpiece and this was mine. (Don't laugh ;) I'm going to matte and frame it. This quick pick really does not make the colors burst, and twinkle as pastels have that *magic* touch.
