I have never seen this work before and enjoyed that joyful moment when one beholds a delightful painting for the first time.
The gentle, quiet moment between the two women, the soft diffusion of light coming through the window shade, and the garden beyond the open window. It all comes together in the most exquisite way that only a painter can achieve. I could gaze at this one for quite some time - especially as winter draws on!

What a surprise to accidentally find this most interestingwebsite and this beautiful picture. The serenity of the subject and colours the artist has chosen brought sunlight onto my screen and into my life on a gloomy Sunday.

i think that this particular painting is one of my favourites as there is much activity and even though it is very plain it shows alot of activity, this picture makes me feel happy to look at and is very colourful. Looks so much like a photograph rather than a painting , its is so realistic and three dimentional i feel as if i am in the room with the two women. Exellent painting. Has encouraged me to do a painting and i am only 16 years of age and it has appealled to me so much!!!

The particularity goes beyond photo-realism. The realism is such that you enter the room streaming with yellow light and unashamedly stare at drink in the tranquility embodied by the flowers and the women

this painting reminds me of the famous lines ...."what is this life if full of care,we have no time to stand and stare'...our lifes nowadays have no time to stand and enjoy the gifts of nature..sunflowers.

I was in awe when I first glanced at this painting. The light reminds me of that warm spring air when everything is quiet and just right in the world. This is such a realistic painting. I love the way everything looks so 3 dimensional, almost like it's a photo not a painting.
Jessie Hemphill from Oklahoma
I love this picture it is so peaceful and colorful, its light and I think that the mood of this picture is happy, because it is so light and free. I also think that if I owned this picture I would hang it in the kitchen or in the living room.
Jean Davies from Oxford
This was a new artist and picture to me. I found the picture delightful; surely you would have to be in a very sour frame of mind NOT to!
But where and why are the moonflowers?
Krissy Allport
Again this is a wonderful piece of art work that the person has painted and it even looks realistic to me.

The picture is bathed in warm yellow light. Sunflowers in this typical ornate Victorian setting looks elegant and full of mirth and activity. The two ladies arranging the flowers in a vase for decoration embodies a sense of vanity and pride characteristic of the Victorian Period. The Japanese porcelain
vases also introduce a fresh theme of self indulgence that was carried forward in the artistic movement.
Trevor Dawes from Lutterworth
This is my favourite painting because of how the artist has used the light and its effect on the differing materials and textures.
