Sunspot or Sunflower ?

I saw this cool picture in the September/October 2024 issue of On The Air  from the ARRL:

from page 11

But it immediately put me in mind of Van Gogh, he loved to paint (or maybe he HAD to paint) sunflowers, here is one but it isn't as vivid as the Sunspot picture:

Those lines of magnetic force coming out the the spot remind me of the heavy application of paint that Van Gogh used to use.

Maybe I was thinking of Starry Night ?:
