Each fall I collect poppy seeds from my gardens, then in the spring I have fun scattering them around - waiting to see what comes forth, taking many photos to be used when the mood moves me.Since working on that poppy commission earlier this year, I have gone totally poppy crazy. I just can't get enough of painting poppies.
I love putting the acrylic paint on really thick - impasto like - moving it around layer upon layer and letting some of the brush strokes show through. I often take it straight out of the tube as I build up the painting. Rich with texture and wild with paint!
Here are a couple of more recent acrylic paintings.
"Poppy Explosion", 11 x 14"
"Poppy Dance", 11 x 14"
