Wow, Carole. This is really an explosion of colour. Amazing and so well painted. Beautiful!!

Stunning painting. I always think that the way you do the centre of a poppy makes the painting and you have made an excellent job of that section. I particularly like your treatment of the left hand petasl which have the light shining through them. Super colours and a painting to be proud of.

Your dramatic composition and powerful use of colour has a real wow factor, super!

This is really gorgeous Carole! You've taken a very commonly painted subject and turned it into something fresh and vibrant. It's really well done!

Beautiful work. I love the splattery, speckled and dark passage with the translucence of the petals.
