In Chinese culture weren’t dragons some form of spiritual deities. Well in Van Gogh's painting of Auvers Town Hall on 14 we see an building in the middle which according to the title of the painting I assume is the town hall. However, what captured most my attention was the fact there is a walkway made by walking between these two trees. At first they same like simple trees but when you look at them a little closer you see that the trees foliage is actually the body of a young dragon. This backs up that idea that Van Gogh had changed his view on religion, he no longer just looked in the heavens but also in everyday nature like shown with the dragons. This painting gives me a mood of festivity and alive. Although the painting itself doesn't have a lot going on, I like Its simplicity of decorations.
