Van Gogh "The Bedroom" Diorama
I'm working on a diorama of this painting by Vincent Van Gogh. I started with the
floor. I would give credit for the floor technique if I could remember where I saw it. I
cut a piece of heavy paper to the exact dimensions of the floor, then cut random
lengths of popsicle sticks and glued them down on the paper. Two pencil dots at
each end of each little plank looks like nails. When it was all dry, I sanded it down
and put a wash of burnt sienna acrylic on it.
I made sketches of the furniture for reference.
Then I just kind of built the furniture with craft wood, sticks, etc. to look as much like
the picture as I could.

I wonder if they have
these things in
heaven...That is where I will surely
go...Even though I'm told to 'go to
hell'...By nearly everyone I know:
Lobsters and steaks...Blueberry
pancakes...Getting up early...Staying up
late...Mashed potatoes piled high on my
plate...Morning cartoons...Helium
balloons...Cigarettes and
matches...Nicotine patches...Long trips
and potato chips...Funny hats and all my
cats...Tangerines and Magazines...Cool
nights and Colorful kites...Will these
things be there when I arrive? If not, then
I'll just stay alive!

I still have to hang some cloth for a towel by the door on the left, and there's some
junk on the back wall behind the bed. Also it looks like a brush and a blue ceramic
water bowl on the table that I have to make. I think the paint job needs to be
scruffed up a bit, too. Then...a Van Gogh action figure so I can play with it.
