Cheryl made the comment that poppy petals remind her of crepe paper.

I agree, when I created this painting,

I rendered the petals as if they were crepe paper. This is one of my

favorite poppy paintings.

Poppy Drama

14"x 11"

Liquid Watercolor

Hotpress Paper

This one stays tucked away in my pile of paintings.

Oh yea, drama happens. Its interesting creating such a mood

with the subject of innocent poppies.
Since I am painting poppies at the moment, I thought I'd share

a few other paintings of poppies.

In the spirit of actually painting, daily, I painted today.
There is something about poppies that I find enchanting. I am always amazed that these lovely red blooms, who look right at you with their dark centers, are held up by the thinnest of stems. Whenever a breeze passes by them, they sway just a little.
I call it the "poppy" dance.

These will be a series: Let's Be Poppies

I joined this group of 100 International Painters who commit to a daily activity in their art business. For most, that means painting daily. I have admired the frequent postings of the

daily painters, having followed the blogs of several.

It is easy to lose track of time, to get distracted and over commit to the needs of others. These are the killers of productivity and inspiration.

I will begin posting (almost) everyday. It's about the activity. Along with new paintings I will post paintings that are being added to new locations and exhibits.

Wish for me activity with purpose....
