ABOUT THIS PAINTING:

I can't seem to control myself when I paint sometimes. I just love painting these crazy poppies. They seem to take on a life of their own and sometimes I like to add some extra texture with fancy, textured bits of wonderful papers that are shredded into appropriate shapes and adhered with medium and sealed with varnish. They make the pods seem to explode! Lots of wonderful winsor newton artists oils are thickly painted onto the canvas with a palette knife and I also used a brush just a bit. Hope you enjoy!

PAINTING AND INSPIRATION:
I'm in love with this poppy painting and almost don't want to sell it. I gave my daughter some beautiful decorative papers for her journal, she is very creative and makes some amazing things. They have great textures and designs so I borrowed a few tiny pieces and varnished them to look like the pods are exploding with texture and color. Painted with rich oils using brush and palette knife and varnished in with fine mediums, this painting will last forever and is quite unique.
