Provence Poppy Extravaganza Throwback Thursday

Provence Poppy Extravaganza

Oil palette knife painting

15 x 20cm (6" x 8") on box canvas

SOLD

This is the last in the current series of poppy paintings. Although, as I get so much pleasure from painting them and I still have lots of photo references, who knows .... LOL

Painted with a palette knife, on a highly textured ground with a pink underpainting which is allowed to show through the finished painting.
Another view of the poppy meadows can be seen HERE 

SUNSHINE SMILES Throwback Thursday

Sunshine Smiles Miniature Treasure painting

4x4" on gessoed panel.

Painted with a palette knife.

Sunflowers are one of my favourite flowers, although they are not as easy to paint as you may think.  Getting the right amount of detail and looseness right is a juggling act. I like the way this one turned out, with lots of layers and textures.
