Silent Auction Chair: Side panels

Side panel: a single iris (after The Iris, May 1889)
This panel is based on the July 1888 painting entitled
The Painter on His Way to Work ...
Unfortunately, the original painting
was destroyed by fire during World War II.
Thankfully there was a coloured photograph of the original.

Faux Gogh style for Silent Auction

This chair (#3) was painted for a silent auction that my son's university choir was hosting. And again, I chose a Vincent Van Gogh motif.

The first panel was another Starry Night.
On the cushion, I painted "Three Sunflowers in a Vase" (1888).
On the flip side of the cushion, I painted it simply green which makes it
appear like a continuation of the Starry Night panel.

At the very front of the chair, I paid tribute to
Van Gogh's "Wheatfield under Clouded Sky" (1890)
