Drama Queens


I just fell in love with the idea of these poppies. Bold, Rich, Explosive in color! That's why I call them Drama Queens. The periwinkle of the sky is in such dramatic contrast to the orange and cadmium red of these poppies just waiting to fly open with the first light of day. There are also some thistle heads and other flowers laid into the background for color balance.
This painting is rather large at 20"x24", oil, with painted edges matching the orange and greens of the foliage.
