THE STORY BEHIND THE PAINTING:
“The Poppy” is the third painting of the Colors of Summer Collection.
This painting was inspired once again by my studio garden and a single, flaming poppy I found dancing beside my garden path. As I painted its blood-red petals, a monarch butterfly stopped to rest on a pine bough just outside my window. That is when I decided to include the magnificent monarch butterfly as my third featured insect.
Just like ‘The Rose’ and ‘The Lily,’ I used a palette of primary colors for this poppy, this time eliminating the white paint. Once again, I painted all the colors of the rainbow across the poppy’s flaming petals.
THE STORY BEHIND THE COLLECTION:
Colors of Summer is inspired by all the summertime colors. Each floral painting has all the colors of the rainbow. If you look closely, each new insect included in a painting is featured in the following one as well, creating a visual timeline for when the paintings were completed. This collection completely changed how I viewed color, and I thoroughly enjoyed the process. I hope you love it as much as I do.
HOW IT ARRIVES:
This 11×14 painting was painted with acrylic paint on a stretched canvas. The canvas is signed on the front and the back. Your painting will arrive ready to hang in a walnut wood frame, along with a certificate of authenticity and a letter from the artist.
