Four Sunflowers Gone to Seed

This painting was from a series of paintings that van Gogh did in the Summer of 1887. This was part of the era in where van Gogh did "still life" pieces. The painting here was named "Four Sunflowers Gone to Seed." This painting really intrigued me, between the depth and intensity of certain colors he used. The little nuances of the same colors really help to differentiate the shapes of the flowers we view on this painting. It also shows us how much control van Gogh had with each and every one his brush strokes.
