How come the moment you apply paint thickly and paint something yellow vaguely resembling sunflowers, your husband says - Van Gogh🌻😂🌻

Joan Mitchell and Vincent Van Gogh were both inspired by sunflowers. Both were not French, but lived in France and painted their best work there. Joan Mitchell had a whole garden of giant sunflowers in Vétheuil, near Paris, were Claude Monet had lived a century before her.

They both painted sunflower series, 70 years apart. Mitchell was inspired by Van Gogh. I am inspired by Mitchell.

I think I have a new friend - it’s called leftover paint painting. Quick strokes, ugly colours, colour combinations I wouldn’t normally use, hardly any thinking, no composition. Big surprises. Magic ✨

Flowers and landscapes merging in my studio. That’s also what’s kind of happening on the inside.

I really like the calming effect this print has on me. Painting it was just as enjoyable.

Blobs of paint or flowers?

Our brain always tries to ‘see’ things, doesn’t it? And even when I am not painting flowers, I somehow do.

Sometimes the best things happen when you get out of the way. I mean with painting 😉 This canvas has been used to put on my leftover paint because I don’t like to waste acrylic paint. For weeks, I would just randomly slap it on, supposedly ‘ugly’ muddy colours and all the neons, my daughter had her fun with it too. And then one day - I couldn’t deny the flowers anymore.
