5 in. x 7 in., Soft pastel on sanded paper
$150 matted and framed under glass
I grew a miniature thicket of bright, orange-red poppies in the lamp post garden. This soft pastel sketch takes the grassroots view of these papery, hot scarlet beauties against the blue of the sky, the light filtering subtly through the thin, rippled petals. The thick application of the brightest highlights feel rich and delicious on the sanded paper, setting off areas of warm and cool colors in this prim little portrait of these delicate flowers.
