Another Van Gogh ?

This is a 12 1/8 x 16 1/8 inch Water Color of " Sunflowers".

For those of you who don't know who Vincent van Gogh (1853 - 1890) was, he was a 19th Century Dutch artist. His most recognizable works are his 3 oil sunflower paintings. The first one was done in 1887 and was in titled " Two Cut Sunflowers". The second & Third were completed in 1888. One was called "Sunflowers in a vase" and the other was called "Twelve Sunflowers in a vase". But, what art history will remember him the most for, is that he was a man with mental problems who cut off right ear. His last oil painting in titled '' Wheat Field with Ravens" was done in 1890 just before he shot himself in the right side of the head. He died on July 29, 1890.

What does all this have to do with me? Well, I started out trying to paint sunflowers in Realism but it come out in more of an Impressionist style. My sunflowers look more like Vincent van Gogh "crazy" & "nutty" sunflowers; then the realistic ones I would have liked them to have been. Oh well, what can I say? It just came out that way.
