I did two painting reproductions in one session: one of Vincent van Gogh's Sunflowers (8x10" canvas sheet, 1.5 hours), and Van Gogh's famous Starry Night (8x10" canvas board, 1 hour speed painting).
This is the first time I painted his sunflowers. One of these Van Gogh sunflower paintings is in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It is an impressive large canvas that catches your eye as soon as you walk into the room, with its vivid colors, stark contrasts and complementary colors, and the thick impasto forming all the parts of the flowers that out toward you. The first time I reproduced the Starry Night was on a 16 by 20 canvas for my sister, this little one is for me. I could have perfected the details and added more of his signature brushstrokes but the goal was to finish it in one hour.
