Once more into the breach with theses poppies. Maybe its the fact that they grow so well here in California and that I seem them every day from mid spring through fall, but I can't stop painting them. Actually, I think I might be coming to the end of my time with these.
I am loving this style of painting. Using this I get to do what I think painting should be. I get to give the viewer a feeling of, or the essence of, the flower, without having to paint a flower exactly as it is. You get the idea of exactly poppies are, but I am free to play and have fun with the paint, free of bounds and borders.
I am gonna try to move this technique to other subjects.
Mostly I think I like this technique because I get to play with the paint and let it flow around the paper. Soooo fun.
Hope you enjoy these. Thanks for the view.
