Very interesting to see the comparisons between the different versions. I prefer the first version with thick layers of paint. It just make the landscape more lively and dynamic than the later versions.

The first one is my favourite painting by him. I don't know why but I love the composition, the colours and brushwork. The sky also looks amazing.

I love all of Vincent's painting, so much inspiration I have received from all of them! I would say that my favorite is the "Starry Night Over the Rhône" created in 1888. However, I would argue, that in the Wheat Field with Cypresses (all versions) he mixed all the hues on his palette with white first, and than applied it to the canvas. The painting has lots and lots of tints, lesser tones. In the "Starry Night" he indeed used the color straight out of the tube, especially cobalt blue.
