Hope you enjoy this living sunny floral bouquet which greets you at the gate. Note the dancing old fashioned orange poppies reaching for the sun, popping through and around the gated white picket fence and moving in the breeze.
Striking complimentary blues take care of the background colors while green poppy leaves create ground cover. The white of sunshine plays a big role in the design elements of this watercolor.
I discovered my reference scene in St Paul, Minnesota walking by a wild city lawn garden. Featured 8/22/2016

This watermelon poppy grew from the seeds in my Flanders Poppy packet. It has white at the base of his petals which are a beautiful cool watermelon colour. It has a wonderful summertime feel with it's pale green seed pod and sunny golden yellow pollen on its anthers. In the rising and setting sun, the cool watermelon warms to a coral - not what one thinks of when thinking of a Flander's Poppy.

Beth - featured 9/1/2016 Thank you, Beth, for your enthusiastic response!
A lovely cluster of blooming poppies, rising up toward the sun, is set against dark values. Strong bold colors light up the flowers while delighting the viewers senses. A unique dark background set against the edge of this angled paper gives surprise variety to this floral scene.

Thank you, Beth! featured 7/04/2016
I thought this painting was a beautiful effort at creating motion in a subject that remains rooted to the ground. Note the abstract texture of the sky foiled against the floral tangled landscape and it seems the whole scene is in action. The colors of blue and orange are opposites on the color wheel, so they really grab you with their degree of color intensity. As the shadows creep over the blooms, they add variety of color and depth, and one wonderful blossom suddenly becomes the star.

Your beautiful poppy artwork is with pride featured on the Homepage of FAA Group "Beautiful Poppies"...Beth....... Thank you so much, Beth! Kathy
This Red Hot Cool Blue floral is a landscape that is really reaching toward the sun. See the large open poppy flowers in red and golds, light blue seed pods and kinky stems against the dark blue background and reaching in all directions. I love bright colors! This contemporary gardenscape is filled with the bright bold colors of varying blues and strong luscious reds. Blue shadows set off the greenery. Do consider this a unique Minnesota variety of poppies.
