POPPY STRONG

"Poppy Strong", 18x24, oil on canvas, in a gold leaf frame.  Bright, rich, cheerful with strong reds.  Every home and office decor should include the color red.  This painting is full of hope and happiness.  It is also a painting done earlier as I got behind a whole day in the thirty day challenge.

SO….I like the painting a lot, but I struggled mightily.  I needed to invent so much and I wasn't feeling the least bit secure.  See the photo references below that I used.  The photos were taken in the patio market in Old Town, Albuquerque, NM.

FIELD OF POPPIES

FIELD OF POPPIES, 10X10 oil on museum quality panel

   I had the wonderful opportunity to study with Dreama Tolle Perry last weekend.   My goal was to learn how to get the glow in my use of color.  I love how I was able to begin this painting using only transparent dark colors and then using both a brush and palette knife, I  layered brilliant colors on top.

    I am very happy with the outcome!
