Red Jewels

22×28 oil on canvas

A plein air study of the poppies at the Lake Granbury Master’s Garden center inspired this painting. Seeing the poppies in the garden are swoon worthy and a delight to see. They are the red jewels in the garden.

I painted this in the studio , building up color and texture with a palette knife . It felt like the flowers were blowing in the wind and dancing.
