Lovely Poppies
Hello, Poppies are my favorite flower to paint, well I think so anyway. Well today anyway, lol This is the Golden Fluid acrylics on a 8 x 10 stretched canvas. Played around with a kind of abstract background first and then laid in the poppies. I added those brighter highlights at the end focusing on just a few. Please take time to enlarge the photo by clicking on it, the colors are brighter and truer to life.
Tomorrow night is Second Saturday at Gallery 42 in Mason Ohio. I will be there, if you are in the area stop by. Hours are 5-9. I have several paintings exhibited there, excited to join a wonderful group of fine artists.
Have a wonderful day friends.

These poppies are beautifully painted, Barbara. I love the background... Best of luck with your exhibit...I know it will be a success. I really wish I can go!!
Hi Hilda, Thank you so very much, you're always the first to comment and so sweet to support me like you do.
I did look at the larger version and really think this is so lovely! The reds/oranges with the yellow dashed in is rich and beautifully done! the poppies are alive with movement!
If I lived near the gallery, I would definitely drop by. Congratulations on the exhibit and best of luck.
Thank you for your wonderful comment Suz, would love to meet you one day.
So natural looking!
These poppies are really lovely. You know how I love to paint with red. You use it so well. The gazebo in previous post is nice, too. Plein air can sure be a buggy affair! Take care...
Thank you Marie, so nice to see you.
Hi there Jo, We do love our red don't we? So happy you like the poppies and gazebo, I'll be by to see you too.
