Original Acrylic Oil Painting Signed D. Haynes
Viridian Eclection
The Painting
An original acrylic painting on canvas, worked by hand after Vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night, on an intimate scale.
The surface is built up in expressive impasto brushwork. Deep cobalt and ultramarine blues move across the sky in sweeping arcs, punctuated by luminous yellow highlights and thick, directional strokes that give the paint real relief. The cypress form rises at the left, anchoring the composition while drawing the eye into the swirling energy above. Greens, whites and earth tones fill out the palette.
The work is signed "D. Haynes" in the lower right. Visible brush texture, layered paint application and slight variation across the surface indicate a hand painted study rather than a printed reproduction. The reverse shows a modern stretcher with a framer's label.
It is presented in a distressed wood frame with a dark, weathered finish.
History & Provenance
The signature "D. Haynes" has not been identified with a documented artist, so the attribution remains uncertain and rests on the signature alone.
On the evidence of the modern stretcher, the framer's label and the acrylic medium, the painting dates to the late twentieth or early twenty-first century, and the origin is likely American.
Van Gogh painted The Starry Night at Saint-Remy in 1889, and it has been among the most copied compositions in Western art ever since. Painted versions of this kind belong to a long tradition of the interpretive homage, in which a painter works through a famous composition by hand rather than reproducing it mechanically. The result carries the original's rhythm through another hand.

Why It Belongs in Your Home
Almost everyone recognizes The Starry Night. Very few versions of it read as an object with presence rather than a flat print, and that is where this painting earns its place.
The heavy brushwork gives it movement and texture. The small scale makes it easy to place. The dark, worn frame keeps it from looking slick. Together they give the piece the hand done character that helps a room feel collected rather than decorated.
It adds color, familiarity and painterly texture to a shelf, a study, a hallway or a layered salon wall without taking much space.
