To tell the truth, I am not exactly a big fan of art as I find them quite difficult to

understand. However, this painting really mesmerized me right at the moment I


laid my eyes on it. It was “6 sunflowers” that was one of the masterpieces of Van
Gogh, who is an internationally-acclaimed painter.
To the best of my recollection, it was in the 7th grade when I saw this picture for
the first time. Actually, I didn’t see it in person but in a Japanese movie called
Sunflowers of Interfo. This work was a royal blue background oil painting with 6
sunflowers arranged in a vase. Of the paintings at that time, “6 sunflowers” stood
out to me most because Van Gogh used sunny hues to express the entire lifespan of
the flowers, from the full bloom in bright yellow to the wilting and dying blossoms
rendered in melancholy ochre.
Hopefully, I can have the opportunity to admire the beauty of this masterpiece with
my own eyes.
