Many of us had family who fought in the First World War, my own grandfather fighting in France. He survived, but many thousands never came home, thus I wanted my poppy to represent far more than a simple flower painting. As a result, “Tears for the Fallen” has a black background as a sign of mourning, a flower bud representing the young age of those called to arms, falling petals marking respect for those fallen, and teardrops shed by those who lost brothers, sons, uncles, fathers and more in that dreadful conflict.
About the Artist
Kit Domino
I am a self-taught acrylic artist who found her muse by sheer chance. My work is inspired by nature and landscape, especially my garden and the beautiful Gloucestershire countryside surrounding my home, and from many trips abroad.
