Finished this one today... 16 x 20" oil on canvas.
Very nice - love the color!! Poppies are one of my favorite flowers - we have lots of them in our garden.
Beautiful Laura, wonderful colors, great to see some of your work again.
Move over Georgia! Very nice.
Thanks ya'll :)
Nice painting. I like the subtle shifts of color in the flower.
Laura - there is an artist in the Old Quebec city region of Canada who paints nothing by Poppies. Some of her paintings are very large canvases, I would guess to be 48 x 60 if not larger. I can't remember her name, but I have some info someplace as we have been to her studio many times.
Something to think about for future paintings of poppies.
Thanks so much Paulk & Richard :)
Richard, I haven't worked on a very large canvas yet, and this was actually the first poppy I've ever painted! ;-) Sort of a practice run... I'm planning on doing a series of smaller poppy paintings on 6 x 6" canvases to put around this one. Once I feel more confident with poppies I will try the larger canvases. Thanks for your suggestion. :)
This seems to be a big step up to me. I think you made a break through.
OP, thanks... I think... lol
