Pretty flowers....

Poppies
6"x8" acrylic on canvasboard
private collection

A huge benefit to reorganizing my reference photos this week- I'd forgotten about these! I had this adorable bouquet of poppies, and for some of the pics I was rolling around on the floor, using a skylight to backlight the flowers.... well. But the transparency of the petals, the blueish grey where they overlap against the delicate pink where the light shines more strongly, the golden color where the pollen has fallen, that weird way the dark, fragile stems twine upwards.... happy.
