Heavily textured mountains, blue sky with shimmering blue shades, and one poppy draws into focus - standing tall, on the look out. I love this humble yet captivating scene.
Another of the poppies, mountains schene with a suggestion of calm flowing water and distant grassy fields. I went easy with the paint here, allowing underlayers to come through – I love this technique and will use it more. It looks to me like the largest poppy is looking at the mountaince, hence the title.
Such a good feeling coming form this painting. It’s free flowing not only because of the scene of flourishing flowers, but the swipe marks in the paint, the drips, the orange “bubbles”.
