Must be summer time - looks like it could just be picked and put in a vase - lovely.I've done flowers too today
Julie - I've been mad busy with other things and haven't been doing my trawl of blogs but yours was one of the first I came to and what a lovely poppy I found! You've captured that 'poppy red' perfectly.
Julie I love the depth of colour you have got into your poppy, it looks fantastic
Tell me about it - with two little ones I dont get much ME time
That is one gorgeous poppy!
hi,
this is a real cool diary, always something to enjoy..make it into a 2 years exercise at least.
Brilliant Julie!
alison your down-under flowers are so fascinatingly strange and exotic. Katherine and Penny I realised it's not just red there's quite a bit of orange in them.
Anastasia, but I thought I'd gone through all that ten years ago! My consolation is I do get the odd few minutes courtesy of my older children.
Freiluftmaler - whether I'm recording it or not I hope to goodness I'm in the groove of daily exercise in a year's time.
Thanks Sue
Julie -- this is stunning! you've really done up the poppy red perfectly...and the background makes the flower 'pop'. superb. as a mom with a 3 and 5 yr old, I can absolutely relate to having no me time. good for you that you're keeping up with this exercise and sharing your art with us! Rachel
That is so beautiful. And I love the way you did the background. I once knew an old man who would wet torn tissue paper (with a brush) onto canvas and it reminds me of that. And of him.
Glorious poppy, it has cheered up this dull November day.
