Poppy Love
This painting is special to me, for it was the only painting I managed to paint while nursing a fracture of my dominant right arm and shoulder. I needed to prove to myself I could still paint something with my right arm so had a go with the poppies. Not my usual subject but thought it was simple enough until I found I couldn't paint for too long or paint the top of the canvas, so turned it upside down, like you do to get an objective view of your subject. It worked well with my left arm supporting my right, a very uncomfortable and slow process. I did at least finish it. That was four months ago and the arm is doing well now after physiotherapy I'm glad to say.
