Vincent Van Gogh' Sunflowers

This very valuable painting of Vincent Van Gogh's Sunflowers is extremely beautiful. It was painted in the year 1888, two years before he died. His painting was 73 x 92 cm long.

The colours that he used to paint the Sunflowers  was usually yellow. He painted 4 different pictures of the Sunflowers. The paint was very thick on the canvas, making it very textured.


The mood of this painting was a very happy feeling. There was really bright colours in this painting because he was happy when he painted it. I think this is his best painting.

I like the Sunflowers because the new flowers that have sprouted represent new life and the old dieing ones represent death. Sunflowers are amazing plants. Did you know that when the sun moves around in the sky the Sunflowers face follows it?


Vincent Van Gogh did some very noticeable details and not many people can see that. If you look at the Picture of his Sunflowers properly it doesn’t really look like he was very happy at the time he did it. He was painting these pictures so he could decorate his good friends room Paul Gauguin.


Vincent Van Gogh was a very famous painter. He was so depressed that one time he cut part of his ear off and sent it to his girlfriend,but she didn’t like it. Then in 1890 Vincent Van Gogh shot himself.
