Yellow Poppy
6" x 6" Acrylic on loose canvas
$45
Poppies are always popular, especially red ones, but not too
often does one see a yellow poppy. If
you do a Google search for “pictures of poppies” you will be shown mainly red
ones with a few white, maybe a few pink, but only the occasional yellow
poppy. I know there are blue poppies
which have become world famous because of a well known garden here in British
Columbia, but I was particularly taken with this yellow one.
I am very fortunate to have a cousin in-law living in Tucson,
Arizona who enjoys gardening pretty much year ‘round. In his garden was this lovely yellow
poppy. He is also an avid photographer
so there are lots of pictures of different flowers that he grows. This picture is taken from the back of the
flower which is a very unique view. I
have had someone “commission” me to paint a red poppy scene for them so this is
a bit of a practise run. Fortunately the
painting is not needed until Christmas so I think I might have time to do
it!!!!
