Description
Sunflowers I – two heads under a spinning sun
Wall art turns two sunflowers toward a broad white-gold spiral in the upper right corner, which is where most of the light in the picture enters — decorative painting whose whole warmth comes from that one spun passage. Autumn leaves with pronounced veins run down the left edge.
Technique and texture
The ray petals are set down with a knife in separate, clearly divided passes, one stroke to a petal and no correction afterwards. The two centres are built from dense spherical dots that gather into marked relief. The spiral is turned into still-wet paint, so yellow and white run together into orange in places.
The motif
The sunflowers are not a matched pair: the left is smaller and faces up, the right larger and tipped toward the viewer. The foliage on the left is painted darker and sharper, so it reads as nearer than the flowers. In the lower right corner a cool grey-blue band sets a limit to the warm palette.
Setting and placement
Colour held this warm heats a north-facing room or one with dark furniture. Rooms that face north take it best, and so does a kitchen with dark cabinetry.

Sunflowers I on your wall
Sunflowers I is offered in 14 upright sizes, from 40 x 60 to 180 x 265 cm. Size it to roughly two thirds of the furniture below: a 110 cm console takes 70 x 105 cm, a narrow wall beside a wardrobe or in a hallway suits 50 x 75 or 60 x 90 cm, and next to a tall stairwell the two sunflowers and their white-gold spiral carry 120 x 180 or 140 x 210 cm.
Pick YES under Stretcher and the sunflower canvas arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to go on the wall. A frame for this warm yellow painting is a separate choice in the Frame menu, which opens at Without frame. The yellow-orange sunflowers reach you in 15–45 days. Each ray petal is hand-painted with a knife on canvas, so the painting is not a print.
Is Sunflowers I the right warm yellow sunflower painting for a kitchen, dining room or north-facing room?
Yes, Sunflowers I is a warm, upright painting of two sunflowers turned toward a spinning white-gold sun in the upper right corner, with dark autumn leaves down the left edge. Its yellow-orange palette brings warmth to a kitchen, a dining room or a living room that gets little sun.
How is Sunflowers I painted by hand?
Sunflowers I is hand-painted by our painters with a palette knife, so you can feel it as much as see it: every petal stands as its own ridge, and the seed heads rise in a dense field of raised dots. Side light from a window makes the relief cast small shadows, which is why the flowers look different in the morning and in the evening. When Sunflowers I is finished, we send you a photograph of it to approve, then ship it.
How does Sunflowers I arrive: rolled, stretched or framed?
We ship Sunflowers I the way you choose: rolled, stretched on a 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher, or framed. Sunflowers I is stretched and framed in our workshop in Slovenia. Rolled is practical for the tall sizes up to 180 x 265 cm; stretched, Sunflowers I arrives ready to hang. A natural wooden frame goes well with the warm yellow.
How should I hang and care for Sunflowers I?
Keep the centre of Sunflowers I at eye level, about 150 cm from the floor; above a dining table or a kitchen bench it can hang a little lower. In a kitchen, hang Sunflowers I away from the hob and steam. Clean the raised petals of Sunflowers I with a soft dry brush, without water.
Is Sunflowers I a good gift?
Sunflowers I is a sunny gift for a kitchen, a new home or someone who loves flowers; 50 x 75 and 60 x 90 cm also fit a narrow kitchen wall. If you are not sure which size of Sunflowers I is right, give a gift voucher.
