Orange Poppy
Itβs just turned springtime in the southern hemisphere. I noticed the orange poppies in bloom for the first time earlier this week.
This is a water-soluble colored pencil painting of such a flower that I photographed in 2021. I completed the artwork in the next year.
If it looks a little strange to you, itβs because the flower is drawn as seen from beneath. It is almost like the view a small animal underneath the plant would have of it.
Iβm not a childrenβs book author, but a story is beginning to form in my head about this scene.
What does this image prompt you to think about?
