Cottington's Poppies
Comments

Your quiet greens really show off the poppies, Amanda, and I like the knife work - wish I could do that. Lovely sky too

I like the low viewpoint of this painting and the contrast of the red poppies against the cool greens of the grass and the excellent threatening sky works so well. Your knife work is really good - you have achieved lovely texture in the foreground.

One of those paintings that wouldn't have worked en plein air; the view point is too low. I don't think the poppies would hae been obligingly still, either, for that matter. The poppies are by the side of a field of green wheat below Cottington's Hill in North Hampshire, within ready walking distance of my home. 50 x 40 cm, oil on canvas.
