Tournesols

This is an emulation of the canvases in Vincent Van Gogh's second Sunflower series, one of my favorite series of paintings. "Tournesols" is French for "Sunflowers." For the Saturday Self-Challenge group - Art.

This image is basically straight out of the camera, with no processing effects added or Photoshopped colors. I only had eight sunflowers, but I wish I would have had 11 for a fuller look. To see what one of Vincent Van Gogh's originals looks like and what I have attempted to emulate ("Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."), here's a link to one of his paintings in his second sunflower series:

Still Life Vase With Twelve Sunflowers

Well, looking through this weeks entries from all the members of the Saturday Self-Challenge group, I see there are a lot of other fans of Vincent Van Gogh! I suppose I could have post-processed it to look like this, but liked my original:

Wow, that's so pretty too, Kenny. Great effort and result. :)

Wow, I didn't see this before; it looks great! But your unretouched version is still my favorite because you were able to achieve the challenge's goal without the need for processing; that is phenomenal!

I like this edited version =) Original is of course good as well. Good composition.

Yes, I recognized it right away. Good Saturday challenge offering.

Oh yes, I recognized this right away too. Very good idea and lovely result, Kenny. van Gogh does seem to be the popular one this week.

I recognised what you wanted to copy here. Very well done to make art without digital effects.

Good work

Here's another one who recognized who you were emulating! You picked the perfect van Gogh painting to use for your challenge submission; well done, Kenny! ;-)

I wanted to do a different one, by my favorite artist Salvadore Dali, but I was just too busy every day this week around sunset.

super! Und da jetzt noch den deepart Filter von van Gogh drüber :-)

Lovely sunflowers
