"Poppy from my Garden"

Just before the rain battered my poppies I took some photos and decided to paint this one.  It is more detailed than I am used to and it did feel a wee bit like painting by numbers but I still enjoyed creating this. Sadly the rain has flattened every new poppy that has come out since ... I think we can officially say summer is cancelled this year!

    this is more detailed than I'm used to from you but beautiful all the same, there's still time for summer to make an appearance - don't lose hope yet - I love poppies and they are getting a battering from all the rain, such a shame!

    They can't stand much rough weather can they. It always seems that they have just come out when it turns windy or wet. Never mind, the painting is beautiful.

    Well you know what I think about this. It is certainly one of your best yet. Your flowers are always excellent but the little bit of detail in this one lifts it to a new level.
    And for everyone else's benefit, Ingrid very kindly gave this painting to my wife and it now hangs proudly on our lounge wall. If you think the photo of it is great, you should see the real thing. It's outstanding. Thank you Ingrid. ;-)

    there is too much feeling in this for it to be a paint-by-number. Love the color and the blending and the way it takes center stage.

    This is so gorgeous Ingrid and you have captured it beautifully. At least you have your wonderful painting to remember the poppy by. I thought I had added you to my list already but apparently not. All sorted now. Laura x

I'm afraid I have had to introduce word verification as I had 96 spammer posts when I returned from holiday. I hope after a short while I can try again with no word verification, I do hope you understand ... thank you Ingrid.
