Forgot to add, all done with a knife.

Very pretty pale blue with salmon pink, Fiona - this would make a good fabric design as well as an effective painting

This has a lovely looseness to it Fiona.

Lovely work Fiona, I like your style.

That was quick! I came back to have another look at it myself because I think it could be enhanced with some stronger colour here and there? Any thoughts? Thanks for your comments Pat, Marjorie, very kind.

Helen, I was hoping that's how they would look...thank you. Thank you very much Glennis, it's a bit different for me isn't it.

I loved your blue poppies Fiona and this is even better. Beautiful colours and the birds flying above give it a light and airy feel.

The two colours compliment each other beautifully and I love your informal poppies. A wonderful sight under a perfect blue sky.

Well done with that cerulean it was crying out to be used Fiona

Very impressive , you're the queen of the knife :) , lovely sense of life , light and movement

They look great against the blue Fiona.

I must have missed this one yesterday, so here goes... Actually it's all been said, a good quick knife painting with lots of expression and passion (I hope), well done Fiona. That seagull on the right looks a bit overweight, he could burst at any time.

Christine, Thea, Dennis, Dermot, Carole and Alan thank you all very much for your comments, very much appreciated. Alan, it's not a seagull, it's a Canada goose. Lol

Love this Fiona….your style has so much movement! Wish I could get my work to look more carefree! :-)

Gosh you have been busy, these poppies would make a great set.

Lovely. I see a face and a hand in the sky. Love it!

Great work Fiona - now put it in a white frame.

Thanks very much Sarah, Val, Gudrun and Frank, very kind of you to leave such generous comments. Frank, you know that&#39;s just what I was thinking, glad you agree! <br />Gudrun, that&#39;s spookey, hadn&#39;t noticed that before.<br />Val I&#39;ll have to wait until the other poppies flower to make the set!<br />Sarah, you can be as carefree, have you tried using a knife with your opposite hand?<br />

I missed this, Fiona, but am glad I found it. Great knife work, made to look easy - but isn&#39;t! Well done! x

I really love how your oils have developed, Fiona! I love the fresh vibrancy of this piece.

A bit more blue, with a touch of orange. Couldn't pass up the opportunity to use a bit more of the tube of Cerulean! And as it happens, I have orange poppies flowering in the garden at the moment too. Acrylic on mount board.
