This comes from Io9.

Okay! Now that I've created a Google+ account, perhaps I'll be able to comment. Peter, pardon my ignorance, but where did you find this image, and who is the artist? BTW, I come here all the time, but not being in your league, I prefer to lurk and learn.

Karen,

Welcome.

Isn't that cool.

It's a digital painting based on Vincent Van Gogh's The Starry Night, which happens to be one of my all time favorite paintings.

I got the picture from Io9,

That's just beautiful.

I once read that Van Gogh, during his lifetime, never profited more than $11 for all of his work. Not sure if that's fact, though.

Thanks, Peter. It's now adorning my desktop, replacing for the moment Mr. Finch from Person of Interest.
