A Painting I Remember

A painting I remember is the first painting I fell in love with when i was only in first grade. It was painted by Van Gough by the name of Sunflowers. I loved this painting because it was a simple painting of sunflowers, with a background that was powerful, but did not overwealm the painting by taking away from the flowers itself. Instead, the background was a light, icy blue, which complimented the mustard-yellow of the petals by making them pop out. I chose this painting because recently while traveling to a museum, I randomly came across the painting and was really happy to see it. Although Van Gogh painted multiple sun flower paintings, this one managed to stick in my mind as one of my favorite pieces. I especially love his brush strokes. When you look closer you can view every brush mark that he made, giving the painting a good texture.
