Fall Poppies

5 x 7

Oil on Board

Looking for more floral subjects, I walked about town this morning hunting for a few remaining blooms.... Frosty nights have turned most flowers crispy and brown or wilted by the cold. But I did find these bright red poppies, their flower petals still waving in the wind, although their coloring was a bit darker.

Magpies in the Poppy Garden

MAGPIES IN THE POPPY GARDEN

2 ft. x 4 ft.

Oil on Board

I have been painting this fun piece for several days now while I worked on other projects. My original idea consisted of painting these wonderful poppies in a garden piece, but as I worked on the garden, suddenly a hand-built bird bath started to appear. I had seen this wonderful bird bath in my wanderings this summer... and now it became part of this painting... a day later, and the magpies walked into the painting.... That is the wonderment of painting! Or at least my paintings. These paintings are truly creations, and they create themselves. I feel I am just there to hold the brush and figure out how to make all these elements work together. This fanciful painting sells for $1,500.00. Send me an e-mail for more information and to leave your shipping address. Wouldn't this make a wonderful painting in a child's room?

Peach Poppies

PEACH POPPIES

15 X 15 OIL ON BOARD

Who can resist a lovely bunch of peach poppies? The color alone seems to stop folks in their tracks to stop and admire them. I found these poppies in a lovely street side garden earlier this summer. For this painting I used an oil wash for the background, brushwork on the background flowers and a pallet knife for the poppies in the foreground. This painting is varnished and ready to hang, no frame is needed. Price: $295.00 and it includes free shipping in the continental USA.
