Orange Poppy

It’s 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, it’s 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.

I’m not a children’s book author, but a story is beginning to form in my head about this scene.

What does this image prompt you to think about?

#Asimov: The Fortress and the Castle

Then something happened. While the stone in Asimov's hand continued transforming into a robot and before he could show Peter his second trick, Asimov noticed something going on in the background that alerted him. He turned around and also Peter saw it when he zoomed out on his pad viewer. The large buildings in the background that stood on either side of the crater rim started to move. ...
