Poppy by Carole Swingler

"Small, Cheap", and loose! What's goin on here?! (joking of course)

Ah ah! Just as I say Skylar! :)). Not my chosen medium but have to use them occasionally being as I bought them.

It's beautiful Carole!

You dont need to practice......everyone a winner

A wonderful painting, Carole.

Wow - this is a stunner.

Love the composition & vibrancy of your painting Carole

Goodness, this is beautiful Carole.

Nice composition Carole. I like the little splatters and lines - and texture?

That's lovley and vibrant colour,just love poppies, so much so,I've got one tattooed across my arm.

Thanks so much for your encouragement. I used a heavy texture gel and gesso, bit of tissue paper glued down with gesso it was like playschool over again :)

This is great, Carole - you're very skilled at acrylics...

Beautiful, Carole.

Thanks again everyone very kind and encouraging.

I just don't get on with acrylics, much as I'd like to, but you don't seem to have had any problems with the medium. This is lovely.

It's beautiful however you have done it!

Carole there is no medium you do not succeed in.....love the random strokes and splashes, and Poppies never fail to please.

Thank you Val Gudrun and Fiona for very kind comments.
