ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I paint sunflowers at times of upheaval; they are a conduit and a wonderful way of dealing with emotions. Vincent Van Gogh painted them to decorate the house he hoped to share with Gauguin in Arles. I lived in Southern France for 10 years and grew all manner of weird and wonderful sunflowers so that I could paint them. I always need a sunflower painting in my house. Having moved to London I don’t grow sunflowers anymore but I still paint them from sketches and from memory when i need to. I like their gnarled and spiky forms and I love their spirit; they just keep turning toward the sun. This one was done as an escape in the studio downstairs during the stay of a particulalrly awful house guest. Painted on the wrong side of thin panel board.
