Garden Poppies Miniature Treasure
by Marion Hedger
palette knife painting
acrylic on MDF panel
10x15cm (4"x6")
I'm
looking forward to the spring. The poppies will soon be popping up all
over the garden. I let these poppies self seed each year and often help
them by collecting the seed and sowing them. This year we should have a
really good display as we have been rearranging the garden and poppies
just love disturbed ground.
About this painting
This
was painted with a palette knife, but because I used acrylics there is
much less texture than when I use oils. I have not used acrylics much
over the last couple of years, but I did like the fast drying and not
having to treat the painting so delicately and waiting for it to dry.
The surface has been varnished for protection.
The edges have been painted black, so it can be displayed on a plate stand. It would also look good framed (no glass needed).
Here is an example of it framed.
