I like them both jo..The sunflowers because Van Gogh was trying so desperately to show the sunlight,the textures as well as the passion he was feeling and thinking he was failing..all because no one else could see what he saw..and Graafs because it is modern day versions of what the 17th century Dutch still life painters were producing..with some simply stunning skills considering they didn't have modern day photography to aid them. though of course they did have access to the Camera Obscura.
