Van Gogh painted the Sun Flowers from 1888 - 1889. This serie consists of 5 paintings, 3 with 15 Sun Flowers in a vase and 2 with 12 Sun Flowers in a vase. These paintings painted with oil on canvas have all the same measure 93 x 72 cm. If you put the paintings next to eacch others, they expose the blooming Sun Flowers till they almost dried.
The ones in a collection of National Gallery, London UK were made when Van Gogh lived in Arles, South France. The one you see here is The almost dried Sun Flowers, collection of Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam. I love this serie because of the colours & the expressive brush strokes. This painting has several tones of Yellow in it. One way or the other, Van Gogh managed that this ton sur ton appears harmoniously on the canvas. This is the power of this impressionist!

Hi Lorraine,
benernya kemari gak sengaja karena buka blog-nya Elyani tentang cinta mati-nya ama batik.
Blog-mu (terutama tentang oom & tante, hehehehe) unik banget, ngingetin kalau sejarah sebenarnya belum benar-benar selesai, walaupun mereka ditulis pake 'past tense' ya.
Saya lagi buat blog khusus batik madura koleksi sendiri,di http://pasongsongan.blogspot.com/ , sedang ditugasin di Pamekasan Madura nih, dan Batik Madura walaupun nilai seni (dan ekonomis-nya) tinggi banget, masih belum se-populer batik Jawa Tengah lainnya.
Mungkin bisa singgah dan it would be my pleasure to have your comment there.
thanks
Yanto.
(I love "Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ears" dan "starry Night" more than the famous 'sunflower', mungkin lain ya, kalau bisa lihat karya van Gogh langsung, pasti aku bisa lebih appreciate, pengin juga nih)
