I’ve not had too much time to paint recently what with starting a new job and being mainly focussed on settling in and learning the ropes. I have however had a few hours here and there to get started on a mini project where my aim was to select a subject and create it in different colours. After the success of my Contemporary Poppies in Pink painting which sold within 1 day of completing it (!), I thought that might be a good subject to base my project on.

So after some deliberations and a few snatched (but precious) painting sessions here are the first two paintings in the series: Ornamental Poppies in Pink and Ornamental Poppies in Teal.

I hope they’ll be successful – the early signs are good though with one order for the Teal coloured painting already…! The next in the series I think will probably be in brown, beige and cream, or perhaps I’ll add some copper and gold. I also like the thought of warm orange, yellow and vermillion. Or I could do navy, light blue and silver….oooh the possibilities to get creative! Let me know if you have any other suggestions!

(Both Ornamental Poppies in Pink and Ornamental Poppies in Teal are available for sale through the Rogue Gene Gallery website)
