VanGogh's Starry Night

I still have not had the time to start this painting yet, but I will get to it soon. Van Gogh was in an asylum when he painted this painting. Clearly, he was have a having difficulty perceiving reality
during this time of his life. I wonder how he would have reacted, if he had known that some of his paintings would eventually sell for as much as $71 million, or that Starry Night would become so famous and well loved, that the image would appear on t-shirts, coffee mugs, mouse pads, even skate boards--not to mention 100's of thousands of posters, world wide.
