They say the paintings were a way for him to experiment with colour combinations but they had a deeper significance for him too, symboling elements like summer and life, as well as representing "gratitude" 🌻
His paintings are no doubt full of energy, movement, interesting brush strokes and colours. There is so much we can be inspired from to make our own unique painting.
And, did you know, 4 of his sunflower paintings are on public display are in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam? Perhaps you could even go check them out before the event to get your creative juice flowing :)
