Provence Sunflower Field
$22.00
The Valensole Plateau in late July, when the lavender rows give way to sunflower rows and both crops are at their height. The young plants follow the sun through the day; by the time the heads are heavy with seed, they hold east and don't move. Growers harvest in August for oilseed, and the colour lasts only a few weeks. Van Gogh painted his Sunflowers around Arles in 1888, two hours southwest. The light here hasn't changed.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
