pink poppies by summerfield

pink poppies

ever since i started to paint last october, i've attempted to paint poppy flowers three times and all times i failed. so i watched quite a number of tutorials on how to paint poppy flowers and after looking at quite a number of poppy photos from my archives, i found a couple that i was able to draw/paint in watercolour.

a day at the office, a change in computer, checking the set up, an eye doctor appointment (good news, i don't have glaucoma as first thought by the doctor. yes, i escape today's noise but tonight's fire alarm, made for a terrible headache.
Just gorgeous - very simple but that's what watercolour should be!

Why would you say pink? They look the poppiest red poppies ever. And so so gorgeous.

You are so talented! This is gorgeous - so soft and beautiful. Love the simplicity.
It looks like there will only be two of you coming to my place (you and Adi) with the potential of northy as well.
Why don't you save yourself a motel bill and stay with me? We have two spare bedrooms now that both girls are gone. There is room for northy if she decides to come as well.
Looking forward to that weekend!

Holy moly! Can I girl get a break?! At least your eye exam was a good report but the rest of the day sounds awful.

I think these are most impressive looking puppies apparently the tutorials and the practice was good for you

Your tutorials have paid off Vikki, the poppies are beautifully done, but I would have also said red. What a day, a new computer is enough to give you a headache without the addition of a fire alarm. At least you got some good news about your eyes.

well the perseverance paid off .... excellent poppy flowers .... scary fire alarm going off ... that's a long way down

Beautifully done.

very beautiful.

Love your high key choice!

This is so lovely. Don't be so hard on yourself and give yourself the leeway to paint as you'd like. Glad the eye exam was good. You'll be able to see to photograph and paint into the future.

That's ajust gorgeous Vikki - I love its simplicity - it would be wonderful in one of those vintage flower books!

This is lovely. There are quite a number of tutorials out there, some much better than others. Glad to hear that your eye exam had good news
