"shades of poppy" 7.5" x 7.5"I'll round out the week with another poppy. I try very
hard to paint my poppies with a variety of colors. It's easy
to get caught up in thinking a flower is a particular color. I
like to push those limits by adding additional colors that might
not be in the actual flower, but make the subject a little more
interesting. We like variety and painting a solid red or orange
poppy would not be so compelling, but throw in some yellows,
purples, alizarin, vermillion, scarlet, violet, rose...you get the picture.

This is gorgeous. Poppies can be so hard to pull off but this painting really captures their essence perfectly. Love it!
I agree with Sandy, you have totally captured it and I love the beautiful colors you added!
Beautiful! I love poppies. Your websites look fabulous, Annelein, and your newest oils are amazing--especially since you're new to oils.
So beautiful--it's almost like stained glass, but so much more supple! Your poppies are always amazing.
And thanks for the reminder to add other colors!!
Annelein, I just found you blog through Art With Liz and feel like I have discovered a gold mine of beautiful colors! Your work is just amazing. You have such a talent with color. I have clicked the follow button thingy so I can see your new works. Good luck with your upcoming workshop!
Isn't this stunning. Would love to see it about 4 foot across, too (tricky in WC, I guess).
