Liberty in a Restless Sky
Inspired by Vincent van Gogh

Every stroke in the painting chapters is a real recorded brush mark from Arthaus’s native replay.



Notes from the canvas
- **Ground:** slate grey-green. - **First marks (285–560):** a pale sage oval upper left (285), a cobalt dab at the top (305), an ochre oval at the right (325), then blue, dark olive and brown ovals in the lower half, and a bright yellow-orange oval lower right (~460). - **Time-lapse (600–840):** blue and gold patches everywhere. By 650 there is a green standing figure, an ochre pedestal block and a yellow moon at the top right. By 700–800 the blue sky has gold cloud masses, the pedestal glows gold, and a gold reflection runs down dark blue water. At 840 the detail snaps in: the green statue with torch, the golden pedestal, a city skyline at the right, swirls in the sky. - **Refine (985–1385):** the sky swirls tighten into directional stroke trains, especially round the moon. The crown spikes, the robe folds, the pedestal windows and the skyline sharpen. The water breaks into horizontal dashes. - **Touches (1390–1561):** small hero marks. The clearest is an **orange-yellow touch on the moon at frame 1468** (x 0.88, y 0.095 from top; spec focus [0.883, 0.905]). The others are golden yellow in the clouds (1403, 1416), blues in the sky (1442–1507) and a dark green on the island (1559). - **The disc:** with gold-lit clouds it reads as either a sun or a moon. The touch line turns that into a joke.
