Artwork Review: Vincent van Gogh “Sunflowers” painting – How many sunflowers did he paint?

So how many sunflower paintings did the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh paint during his painting career in the south of France in the year 1888 and 1887? Well that answer can be found by counting the individual sunflowers found in one of his painting then multiplying that number by the amount of paintings he did and subtracting five from it. Here lets get started in this step by step technique process.

So to calculate the amount of flower paintings Vincent van Gogh made in his lifetime you have to count the individual flowers in one of his sunflower paintings panel. If you begin this counting process at the top left hand corner of the image you can see there are at least two (2) stacked flowers in a row so it may be hard to generate the first number by using your optical receptors. So to get by this obstacle you must use a Photoshop tm neural filter to see the differentiating bulbs. By doing this unique tactic you will find the revealing clue of the first petal-less flower. So in total in one sunflower painting ( not poppy flowers) there are 12. But, how many flower paintings did van gogh make in his lifetime?

By compiling all the images into one long picture we can see there are many paintings in this van gogh sunflower painting series. There are 8 in total of the vase paintings with sunflowers in them and 4 total of the just the flowers laying on the table or ground. If we use addition and add plus these 2 numbers together using the formula 8 + 4 = we get to the sum of 12. So there are 12 total sunflower paintings.
