Poppies on a Hill


Poppy paintings are so popular right now. I'm not one to jump on the bandwagon, but the reds were too tempting. The prettiest poppy I ever saw was here in Texas and it took me several years to find out the name of it - a "Shirley" poppy. I wasn't much of a poppy fan until I saw it. I'd say it's pretty much of a showstopper as far as poppies are concerned (the actual flower, that is).

Lavender Fields

Every now and then, it's nice to take a break from larger, detailed projects and have a little fun putting paint on the canvas with a goal towards painting a happy little scene and not much else. I wish I could say I had been here in person (Provence), but maybe one of these days.

Yikes! I just noticed that I posted an incorrect size earlier for this painting. It is a 5x7, NOT an 8x10. Sorry!
