The inspiration for In the Evening Glow comes from our allotment, where my husband lovingly grows all kinds of poppies from seed. Their delicate reds, pinks, golds, and purples become almost ethereal in the soft summer evening light, glowing as the sun sinks behind them. I wanted to capture that breathtaking moment - the sense of radiant, transcendent joy these flowers bring as they shimmer in the fading warmth of the day.
 
The acrylic paints were applied with rollers, palette knives, stencils and sponges in layers of colour. I added collage by cutting shapes from my own hand-painted sheets and gluing them with archival acrylic medium. The drawn lines are graphite or water-soluble crayons which are permanently fixed.
