Poppies!

                                                          watercolor on Yupo 26x20

On the way to Cistus Nursery last month, my sister in law said "I wish you would paint some flowers". As luck would have it, there was a magnificent stand of poppies right by the parking lot. I drew them and took pictures. Here you go Norma, it looks like summer! It was deeply satisfying to paint those flowers, this landscape painter hungers for all things not green, especially red.

As much as I love your landscapes, love these poppies too. Your paintings are magic.

You don't get to use that bright red often - it worked beautifully. Love the rhythm of the flowers.

I am with you on all of the green! The red and blue mixes things up very nicely:)
