Van Gogh two cut sunflowers

This painting is similar to many of Van Gogh's other depiction of Sunflowers. Sunflowers were a common theme amongst his work. While being familiar to his other paintings of Sunflowers, this one stood out because it was unique and unfamiliar compared to his other paintings. The background of blues is similar to starry night and i liked the different shades used to create the flower itself. The blue in the background made the flowers seem very close rather than far away
