I spent a long time trying to get a likeness of a poppy and found they died so fast when cut and placed in a vase. The only way was to leave them to thrive in their own environment.
The Poppy at first glance is a simple flower, but upon closer inspection there is so much more to them and when several gather together they are astonishing in their beauty. They can make such a difference to the landscape.
Anyway, enough of my ramblings, here is my latest painting.

Hi Inky
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! It is glowing with red light!
Just for you:
“Captured by the glowing hot field of red
I just couldn’t get the poppies out of my head.
Cutting one and then to my studio I went
To record this beauty that really has no scent.
How quickly it wilted and left me with naught
To use as my model. I was very distraught.
With easel and paints to the field I hurried
And painted the beauties, no longer worried.”
