For those who don’t know, several sets submitted to the annual LEGO Ideas contest will eventually become a reality, and this year, they received a record 35 submissions. One of them that easily achieved 10,000 supporters is this Vincent van Gogh: The Starry Night set. It re-imagines the original painting in a 3D scene and places strong emphasis on the artist’s iconic brush strokes as well as color choices. Clips and brackets are used to recreate the swirling clouds, while plates stack to form the hillsides and bushes. Read more for additional pictures and information.
The curved pieces come together to form the cypress tree, but the creator’s favorite part is the inclined plate stack on the right, capturing the angled brush strokes within the moon-lit cloud. In addition to the main pieces, this set also includes a paint brush, painting palette, easel and a “Starry Night” mini-painting on printed tile. More information here.

I love putting the minifigure before the 3D scenery. It is like watching the artist work on the painting in real time.
