"Summer Poppies", WIP by Tatiana Myers.

"Summer Poppies"

14 x 11", Holbein DUO Oil on Ampersand  board.

 

My latest work in progress what I'm trying to keep simple and easy going. Just another mess of poppies.

I'm not sure: why I did so many poppy paintings this summer. Perhaps I just feel this way. This work is done in "free style" with very minimum drawing and with only one (and no so little!) brush. I may add some Oil Pastel for very final touch and make it "mixed media". Or not.  So far I'm just taking it easy and enjoying the process.

Mom's Poppies by Linda Young

The third in the series of memorials to flowers lost by hail or otherwise.  My mother loves these delicate flowers and we both hope they'll do a turnaround and come back.  Memorial #3

4-1/2" x 6-1/2"

Mom's Poppies, watercolor

Linda Young Watercolors

I created this one by using scraps from old paintings that had most of the original watercolor color washed off. I use mostly transparent watercolor when I paint; but in order to get the brightness of the poppy to jump I needed to use cad.scarlett.  If this had been started on a fresh white paper, things might have been different.  It's kind of ironic that a new life comes out of the scraps.
