+Why did you choose this particular artwork and artist?

First of all I choose this artist which is Van Gogh because he is one of my favorite artists of all time because he has really beautiful drawings that we can understand for example Picasso I wouldn’t pick him as my favorite because I don’t understand his paintings I think they are weird. Also I picked that artwork because I love flowers and one of my favorite is the irises because it looks beautiful and smells nice, also I picked that because I love spring and in spring flowers bloom, and on the picture it showed that it was green and the flowers bloomed.
