The Big Easel project is the conception of Cameron Cross of Winnipeg, Manitoba.  It consists of seven similar easels that will be erected in seven countries around the world. Each easel which will feature a different version of Van Gogh's Sunflowers. All of the communities where the installations will be located are the sunflower capitals of their countries.

The Canadian Easel, in Altona, Manitoba, was the first finished Easel of the international Van Gogh Project. The Easel took 2 and a half years to complete, from the initial idea to the final unveiling. It now stands in the Millennium Park in Altona, Manitoba, located one hour from Winnipeg.

The Australian Easel, located in Emerald, Queensland, is the second in the series. Completed in October 1999, the project took nearly 2 and a half months to complete. The easel is located in the centre of the city in Morton Park.

The American Easel is the third painting in The Van Gogh Project. The Easel is located in Goodland, Kansas; sixteen miles from the Colorado border. The easel was erected in 2001 and stands 80 feet (25 metres high). The Easel is located in a new scenic parkway visible to traffic along the I-70, which is the major highway connecting New York to Los Angeles.
