Hello Nap,
I kinda fell in love with those red poppies too; first time I ever tried painting them was with the blue one on the chair and I went with he photo/perfect thing with it. Then when I got to the bench yesterday I just squiggled my brush around and liked those looser poppies much better. I'm thinking that if I ever have time I'd like to paint some red ones on canvas using the squiggledy brush strokes. That was fast and fun and looked like poppies look when they are trembling in the breeze.
Thank you, Nap. It's nice to know you're there reading.
