Inspired by the fleeting beauty of poppies at sunset, I wanted to capture the way evening sunlight shines through their delicate petals, revealing translucent layers of red, orange and gold. The backlighting transforms the flowers into glowing forms, celebrating the interplay of light, colour and the ephemeral beauty of poppies in the garden. The horizon line alludes to a pool or lake in the distance and gives structure in the composition.
 
For this original poppy painting I used acrylic paints, inks, crayons and collage. I make my own collage papers by painting or printing on lightweight sheets with layers of professional grade colour which are glued onto a prepared wood panel. The surface is sealed with four layers of varnish with a satin finish.
