I dream my painting and then I paint my dream
Postman's friend. Brother's burden. Bad at resting.

Description
They're sunflowers. I painted them to symbolize gratitude and friendship and also to decorate the Studio of the South for my friend Paul Gauguin.

Gauguin said they were good. I don't trust compliments but I am keeping that one.
They are dying as I paint them which is the whole point. I am trying to catch them exactly at the moment between alive and gone. I think I understand this moment better than most.
I want the room to be full of yellow when he arrives. I have started the sunflowers. Yellow is the only color that feels like hope and I need a lot of it right now.
