I chose Vincent Van Gogh to imitate. I really like his art that I have seen in our book. I also looked up his work online and found more that I am really fond of.

If I knew where I could purchase them and they were affordable, I would definitely get one to hang on my wall. My favorite sunflower painting is the one entitled "sunflowers". My favorite piece from the textbook is "The Starry Night". If I had talent and canvas with oil, I would attempt something like this. Instead I used crayola markers and attempted to draw sand dunes. I entitled my picture "The Sand Dunes at Night". It is no professional art work but I thought it turned out pretty good for my poor drawing abilities.
