Poppy Tendrils
71 x 51 cms oil on stretched canvas, unframed.
Year: 2023
Rationale:

A photograph of poppies inspired me to play with a few strong colors to evoke the interplay of petals, capsules and stalks. I used a blue background to create a sharp contrast with the pinks and oranges of the blooms.

There is also a contrast between the opulent flowers and the capsules with their stigma, promising more blooms once they seed – the natural cycle.
