And the Picture of the day is...


Sunflowers
By Vincent Van Gogh

These beautiful flowers look like all of the other Van Gogh paintings because of the way they are painted with bright colors and long strokes. Although I believe Van Gogh would have been able to paint them up close, my Grandmother asked a very strange question about another impressionist piece of art. If you can only see the picture from far away, then how did the impressionists paint their art? None of us had any answer. There are many other sunflower paintings by Van Gogh. I like this one the most because for some strange reason it is very pleasing to my eyes. Although Van Gogh painted many sunflowers, they all have similarities and differences, yet they are all beautiful.
