Painted on the palette that was used for several other sunflower paintings.
Michael Hartt on Bouquet of Peace:
“I began this painting with a plan to show two hands holding a bouquet of sunflowers. After sketching the piece I realized that the composition was the same as the famous print by Picasso, showing two hands and a bouquet of flowers. I had seen this piece thousands of times, since my parents had a copy of it in our home. What I never noticed was that both hands were right hands, meaning the piece shows one person handing flowers to another.”
The Picasso piece was done for a peace demonstration in Stockholm in 1958.
The artist can share 8 photos showing the process of painting this piece.
This painting is framed with a flat-bottomed frame that can be free standing on a table or dresser. It also has a picture wire for hanging on a wall.
