Joan Mitchell: Red Tree; 1976. "...the seen and the felt have been completely internalized..." (That quote not necessarily about this painting. Quote and image above is from a book about Mitchell, by Klaus Kertess)

Joan Mitchell, Untitled, 1968—1969
Oil on canvas; from Sunflowers exhibition, 2009.
"Her Sunflower works count amongst the most experimental and vibrant of all her pieces. [...] Mitchell considered sunflowers to be ‘like people’ — subjects to empathise with whose life cycles were played out with exuberance but brutal swiftness. ‘If I see a sunflower drooping, I can droop with it,’ she explained, ‘and I draw it, and feel it until its death.’ Like van Gogh whose precedent she was brave enough to summon, she embraced sunflowers for their hopefulness as much as for their assertive and undeniable splendour. Her images do not much resemble the plants themselves: they are blue and red as well as golden, erratically dancing sweeps of colour that communicate internal as much as external landscape."

This is the best approximation I can do of the painting 'Door 84' by Dorothea Tanning. The right side is the cover to Alice Fulton's 'Felt' book. I couldn't find the original painting anywhere online, so I had to Photoshop it from Amazon's images from the book :/ Tanning is a pretty famous Surrealist painter, so I'm surprised this painting isn't online somewhere.
Joan Mitchell, White Territory; via UMMA Collections - American Art (best image I could find of this painting)
It inspired Alice Fulton's poem 'Close' - from her book 'Felt.'

I stand too close == I see too much ==
