poppies

A lot of people paint poppies, I suppose, but I never get tired of them - there's just something uplifting about the flame red, when it's well done. This is. Your friend is lucky. If you took all the people who had been inspired by Leisure Painter over the many years of its existence - I first came across it around 30 years ago - I wonder how many thousands of them there would be by now. Like your Clint drawing, too.

Thanks for the kind words Robert. Leisure painter has inspired a lot in me already, not just with the articles by the professional but also by the amateur and the ideas behind their pics, I'm sure it will continue to do so.
