As you look through my exhibit let your mind and emotions run free. There is no right or wrong way to view these paintings. Everyone is different and that is all good....ENJOY THE SHOW





Artist: Vincent Van Gogh

Title of piece: Sunflowers

Media: Oil on Canvas

Dimensions: 92.1 x 73 cm

Date : 1888

Vincent Van Gogh was a famous Dutch painter. He was most famously known for his paintings of sunflowers and his self-portraits. This is one of a series of two paintings in this collection. This is actually his fourth version of painting, it has a yellow background. Each version has its own color in the background. I picked this for my flower collection because I believe it is one of the brightest color flowers you can get. They are so detailed and all flowers have their own characteristics, with use of rich yellow colors.

Paul cezenne, a French man, was born January 19, 1839 in Aix-en-Provence, France, also where he died on October 22, 1906. He came up with the bridge between impressionism and cubism forms of art.

Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller lived from 1793 to 1865. He was known for painting things he saw such as: himself, other people, landscape, flowers. He was also known as a writer. I picked Roses for my collection because it just grabbed me in with bright rich pink roses against the glass vases. This is a very beautiful piece of art.
