When he was alive he only sold ONE painting! His work became famous after he had died.
He was really really crazy and chopped off a wee bit of his ear lobe!
He brother was the one who told him he should be an artist.
When he died lots of people started buying his paintings.
He used to be a teacher.
He worked in an art gallery.
He is really famous for painting sunflowers.
We have been practicing drawing sunflowers in lots of different ways - we have used pencils, felts, crayons and chalk.
How do you think they look?
