Here’s something I’m not sure I’ve ever shared on my website before. A little back-story about how paintings get made… sometimes!
As with a few others in the series, I painted from memory, creating the painting from my imagination rather than working from a specific photograph. I had the red poppy painted in, but what background would I use? Looking at my palette, I had leftover paint from another painting I was working on, and the colors would work for my background. So I used it here! How’s that for an artistic choice? It’s quite unlike the others. But it’s also quite pretty, to my mind. I hope you like it too. Read more about the series here.
Dimensions: 5 x 5 in
Medium: Oil on cradle board
