A Passion for Poppies
Oil on panel, 7x5
sold |
As I sketched this small painting out, this little excitement within me began to grow. I composed this one in my mind, and with each stroke - I knew I was going to love it! Its amazing how my recent petal work has helped to improve all of my florals! The trick of pulling a stiff bristle brush from tip towards base with the highlight color worked beautifully here - really adding to the depth of the poppies! The cool background sets the warm reds and yellow of the petals off - and the cool alizarin and reflective blues on those same petals balance out the painting. I will definitely paint this one in a much larger format! Painting number 798 in 798 days!
