"Pair of Poppies" Oil on Canvas, 11"x14"



(in progress)

These oriental poppies were from my garden, I took a picture of them back in June. I found out a long time ago, poppies don't do well cut and put in a vase, they droop after only a few minutes. But, they look so gorgeous and big when they are put in a vase, away from the usual garden setting. I wanted to make a larger painting of them. Here are some photos of my progress. I'll finish it up tomorrow.

  1. It's gorgeous Debbie! It looks done already. Great dimension in the flower, and I love your decision to subdue the vase and background.
