ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Why did Vincent Van Gogh paint sunflowers? What is the symbolism of the sunflower that resonated with Van Gogh? Van Gogh's first career was a minister. He wasn't very good at it, and eventually was fired. So, he turned to painting as a form of ministry. He figured if he couldn't preach people to God, he'd paint heaven for them. Sunflowers follow the sun as it moves through the sky. So, they have historically been associated with religious devotion. This is especially true in the Dutch painting tradition of which Van Gogh was a prodigy. I thought of Van Gogh when I painted this small, 9 x 11 inch sunflower painting as part of my Mother's Day flower series.
