It's no secret that we find various iterations and renditions of Van Gogh's Starry Night both impressive and amusing. We've seen it recreated in bacon, and made out of doorknobs, but if you've never seen Van Gogh's famous work painted in wonderful detail driving down the road on the way to the grocery store, we've got a few Starry Night vehicles below with which you can fill that void in your life.

With all the different, extremely impressive renditions of Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night we've seen, it starts to make you wonder if Starry Night is actually that impressive, since everyone on the Internet seems to be able to recreate it. However talented everyone on the Internet seems to be, it's still a pretty piece upon which to gaze, and this rendition of Starry Night created entirely out of doorknobs sure is a creative medium with which to recreate Van Gogh's work.

In case you hadn't noticed, we're pretty big fans of Van Gogh's Starry Night. Or rather, we're really big fans of the seemingly endless parade of homages to the painting, made on whiteboards, pumpkins, and now: Various spices and foodstuffs. This tasty looking interpretation is the creation of photographer Kelly Mccollam who crafted her work out of spices, food coloring, and potato chips. She says that Van Gogh is her favorite painter and that it only felt natural to create this piece, as well as other delicious re-imaginings of Van Gogh's work. See more spicy paintings, after the break.

The latest in our hard-hitting, breaking Starry Night coverage is the above rendition of Van Gogh's apparently very reproducible painting. This time, on a whiteboard in black and white. The thin lines in the above interpretation give the piece an even more Tim Burton look than the original, especially in the sky portion.

Previously: Bacon Starry Night. Now: The Lord of the Rings Starry Night. When something happens because of course it did, usually more things happen for that same reason.

British artist Arthur Buxton uses pie charts to represent the five most prevalent colors in 28 different Vincent van Gogh paintings. It's a little maddening that there's no publicly available answer key, but devoted fans should be able to figure out at least a few.
