‘Dapple Shaded Poppies’
It would seem my oil paints and brushes have finally had their dust blown off of them :-)! Two days ago, after clearing and cleaning, like a possessed mad woman, my fabric workspace was eventually reverted back into a painting studio. Rummaging around, I found a dozen oil canvas panels, earmarked for a project a while back, so, I thought instead of that, I would get my rusty painting arm going again on the little 14 x 11 inch boards.
Nature and my garden provided just the right inspiration…nestled right at the foot of our Holly tree! With a little help from the sun through the leaves, in the dappled shade, I captured the pretty scene on camera, four wild orange Poppies in amongst the holly leaves.
Now I have to think what can go on the other eleven canvases ??? 😉
My garden poppies made the perfect reason, to get back to oil painting! I had a little request from Mrs. P’s grandson over at craftodessey to show my picture of orange poppies – as he has only ever seen the beautiful red ones – so here they are finished! A couple of weeks should see the oils dry out too, and then, I think it may be destined for My Etsy shop 😉 Better get back out into the garden and see what other treasures I can capture !

Yeah you let me see your poppies
Love Moo
😀 I certainly did! Hope you like them? I still love the red ones you have though, I wish I had those growing in my garden 😉
Mrs T you made Moo’s day with your painting, he’s now dancing around the living room LOL
Awww, Bless his little cotton socks, I wondered if I might be too late in posting for him to see it today – obviously not LOL (just come back from shopping ) so pleased I have made his day!!! 😀
The simple things in life sure keep Moo happy, long may his curiosity and innocence last
I wholeheartedly agree! You have a wonderful and very precious grandson 😀
Beautiful picture. You painting arm doesn’t look at all rusty to me.
Thank you so much Bekki 🙂 ! I have to say it has been a good few years since I painted seriously, so finishing this in two days has helped loosen it up somewhat. 😀
Excellent! Can’t wait to see what happens when you’re in fully loosened.
I look forward to sharing 😉
I thought it was a photo! Orange poppies are beautiful and you’ve captured them so well:)
LOL 😀 Thank you so much Sheila ! I’m taking that as a big compliment 😉
Gorgeous painting! It’s good to see you are getting back into painting. Not that I don’t love your craft projects but I also love you paintings and drawings. 😉
Thank you so much Jackie 🙂 ! Aside from the small mishap of landing in my paint LOL I really enjoyed it – I suppose it’s a bit like riding a bike – I didn’t doubt that I can still do it, just wondered if I would be a bit wobbly at first till my wrist strengthens back up to painting mode;-)
I understand that completely! It’s obvious that you have climbed right back on and are riding as if you didn’t spend any time away. 😀
Thanks for the gentle push back in this direction 😉
😉
Wow, beautiful! I like the colours 🙂
Thank you so much Irida 🙂 I think the sun made their colours much more interesting in the dark shady corner.
Perfectly lovely. 😀
Thanks so much Sarah it’s been such a long time since my brushes have been this busy! It’s lovely to see you back again, I hope you have been keeping well? 😀 and, thank you for trawling through my posts, I think I must owe you half a day in lieu 😉 it is very much appreciated!
Sorry I haven’t been around much lately. I’m having a blogging break. I don’t like to lose touch with all the great blogging friends I’ve made though so I’ll try to pop in when I can.I’m going on holiday tomorrow though so I won’t see you again for another week or so. I look forward to seeing what else your brushes get up to when I get back. 🙂
I’m so happy you are okay Sarah – sometimes it’s good to have a break – I know!!!! Have a lovely holiday :-D, take lots of pics to share when you get back and thanks so much once again for popping over 🙂 xx
