Poppies
6x8in oil on canvas panel $135. SOLD
Artist Note.
I have been trying to do the weekly
Daily Paintworks Challenge,
and I am a bit late with this one.
This was from the photo
Carol Marine chose.
I decided to do poppies because they
grow wild in Colorado
and when I lived there
I painted them quite a few times
Anyone can enter the challenge.
A new one starts every Sunday
so if you need inspiration
deciding what to paint then I suggest
you give it a go.

ReplyDeleteThe photo on DPW which I used as a basis seemed to go back even further than mine. it had beautiful lavender flowers at the front.
