A Painting by Van Gogh

I happen to take Art classes in oils. My teacher directed me to Van Gogh's Flores: 

I am not sure what it's called. But I am very impressed with it's colors of yellow, maze and the swirls of a blue vase. It appears that the painting is all swirls. I can't imagine how it was done. But it presents itself as a plain and effortless painting. 

As this is all new to me as a new Artist of oil painting, this will be a great challenge. Anything "Blue" is my favorite color. 

The painting has brown in its background. I believe judging from the picture it was one of his best masterpieces.

I usually color with pencils, and have very little knowledge in coloring in oils. Again this will be challenging. However, I am going to love it.

One might ask what does this have to do with USPS Stamps?  However, I believe the Post Office did select stamps from various Artists and a few were from Van Gogh's Flores: "The Sun Flower" and a picture of Van Gogh himself.
