"Sunflowers 1" is a beautiful floral painting inspired by the artist's own sunflower garden, and with a nod to Van Gogh's iconic sunflowers. This contemporary artwork captures the expressive energy of nature in a delightful small size.

The artist used a combination of gouache and watercolor on paper to create this colorful piece. A light watercolor wash in pale red was applied first, followed by layers of color built up with water-soluble colored pencils and crayons. The result is a vibrant and textured surface that brings the sunflowers to life.

This figurative painting would be a perfect addition to any room in your home. Its cheerful subject matter and expressive style will bring a touch of sunshine to your space. The small dimensions make it versatile and easy to display on a wall or shelf. Add this original sunflower artwork to your collection today and enjoy its beauty for years to come.
