"Knowing that I regularly paint sunflowers, a collector asked when I would do my next one. I was on a painting trip at the time, yet I promised to do another soon. Sunflowers in a still life always take over the attention and offer entertaining opportunities for color variations and impasto brushwork. All artists owe a debt to Van Gogh for popularizing them. If you have seen one of his, you'll never forget it!" --- SFG
