What better way to paint for a fabulous cause, these postcard sized painting, drawings etc will be posted and sold for approx. $32.00 and all the money will go towards children's books. The deadline date to submit work is Nov 27th -it needs to be posted soon.

I have two designs but I think this is the better one of the two. I will name it 'Golden Tree' I think I will produce a larger version of this some time soon. However, I have sent two mini paintings the other is Golden Poppy, and why not indeed?

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.
