I chose one of Vincent Van Gogh’s sunflower paintings to reflect on a time in ages 11-14 and up. I chose this specific painting because it is another one of the paintings I’ve grown up seeing. Because of the vibrant yellow color it reminds me of summer. Then this reminds me of all the fun I have hanging out with my friends, and going swimming, and horseback riding. Also, it reminds me of my volunteer time at VBS and music camp during the summer at my church. Since there are flowers that are wilting in the picture, it reminds me that no one is perfect. The brush strokes that are used in the painting are thick, and wavy. They aren’t “safe” brushstrokes to draw a “perfect” regular sunflower. Also there is a calming blue background behind the vase of sunflowers that make the flowers stand out. All that is included with the brushstrokes and colors convey an emotion of happiness, and joy.
