What a busy summer with many visitors, art shows to attend and paintings to deliver.This summer we delivered a commission to a patron out in Saskatchewan, one that was ordered a year ago! After having several of my paintings in her home already, a client of mine mentioned that she now needed something for over her bed. Measuring the space available, I put it on the back shelf until I was ready. Early this spring, I got an idea to paint a triptych of poppies.
I ordered 3 - 12 x 24" canvases and away I went. On a background of burnt sienna, I started by organizing the poppy groupings; the sizes, the flower directions and which would continue onto the next canvas. 
I did this by making cutouts of the poppies and moving them around the canvas until I had the desired spacing.
Next I had fun. I wanted the finished piece to be rich and juicy with colour and texture.
