California Poppies


I did this watercolor of the poppies growing in my backyard. A friend at work asked me if I'd ever painted poppies. I hadn't so I thought I'd see if I could. I thought the white poppies were a little more unusual than the orange so I painted a view that had them dominating. This painting is on 7 x 9.34 Kilamanjaro 140 pound cold pressed watercolor paper.
