Helen's Poppies
Watercolor on paper, 10.5x7 |
I had the most relaxing day painting in Fish Creek, Wisconsin. The winds were calm with temperatures mild - in the 60's and 70's. I painted four paintings from this single location today! This was the first of the day - a cheerful play of poppies! Helen, the owner of this wonderful old home, was in the yard cutting fresh flowers to put into vases. I did have to head for cover when a few sprinkles started to fall. Not a problem for oils - but certainly a problem for watercolor! I was soon able to finish and move on to another! This is painting number 571 in 571 days :)
Another wonderful painting! Valerie
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I like the softness in the upper right side. I guess rain and open air painting don't really mix well.
ReplyDeleteThe poppies are beautiful. You have mastered the 'look' of watercolor. I have a time trying to do it. Blessings, Janet PPF

There IS something so cheerful about poppies. I love them--they are one of my favorite flowers--and you've done a lovely job of painting them.

Beautiful, Tammie!!
ReplyDeleteI do love poppies, ... we have a Lavender Festival each July (Yamhill County, Willamette Valley, OR) and there is a Plein Air Art Show at a local park - one of my favorite combinations is red poppies with the lavender, or a red chair. Every year, I think I'll participate, maybe next year!!
Happy PPF!!
