Discussions on the life, works, and the influence of Vincent Van Gogh

The Starry Night has been one of my favorite paintings for a while now and as an adult, I have come to appreciate Van Gogh’s life and work even more. This was QUITE the challenge! My painting is a few inches larger than the original on all sides, but I just took artistic liberty with extending the imagery.
Hi all - I have made the map that includes key locations tied to Van Gogh's life. I thought people here would be interested.
I would appreciate it if you tell me if I missed any locations on the map. Thanks in advance!
The map is here.

Does anyone know what time tickets are available on the National Gallery website? I'm buying them from the States and want to make sure I have any necessary alarms scheduled!

I’m using all the same pigments, aside from Emerald Green, that Van Gogh would have used and this is difficult and very time consuming! It is such a humbling experience! My painting is just slightly larger than the original.
Long story short - found this painting in 100 years old house that belonged to my father-in law family. During the war, russian and german soldiers stayed there. House is located in Baltic region. Painting is old, primed with sand (you can even see sand dusts). I think the painter was inspired by Van Gogh, how do you think?
