Poppy - Red

Red Poppy's

Poppy painting. Painting with Acrylics on canvas board 11x14.

I have waited a while to paint poppy's I was not sure how I was going to design it and what style I would use but this seems to fit. It has a kind of darkness to it which in some respects reflects the wars many have fought and the redness of the poppy's are the colour of hope peeping through the murky background.

I had not intended to paint this for remembrance day but seeing the vibrant poppy's on lapels encouraged the time to paint this subject matter.

Lest we forget.
