I loved all your comments on yesterday's post! Today, no thoughts, but simply a light-hearted painting.
Sometimes parts of images swirl in my head and I finally have to paint them. With the last painting it was the owl, this time the poppy.
So, yesterday I sat down and painted her. So much fun! And I just love that naphthol red! The background looks black, but it's actually paynes gray, which looks like a very deep blue.
I am linking her to the most wonderful
Paint Party Friday! Make sure you go visit them for lots of fabulous art!
