"Red Poppy" by Lynda Cookson
I just put this one up today. The Poppy Collection I did a couple of years ago, whilst working towards a commission painting, remain one of my favourites. They usually pop up where their scarlet petals show up best, in fields of Lavender or Corn. This is what google has to say about what Poppies represent:
"In the spring of 1915, shortly after losing a friend in Ypres, a Canadian doctor, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae was inspired by the sight of poppies growing in battle-scarred fields to write a now famous poem called 'In Flanders Fields'. After the First World War, the poppy was adopted as a symbol ofRemembrance."
This painting is simply called "Red Poppy" and is a palette knife painting (what else if from me! LOL) on paper, with a white matt board. It's set against a creamy yellow background as if waving around happily in a field of corn.
The unframed measurements are Width 12" by Height 11" (or Width 30 cm x Height 28 cms)

"Poppy in Fields of Lavender" by Lynda Cookson
I recently had reason to send this little number out as a printable digital image ... and it's so nice to be reminded of the times specific paintings were created in :-) This one looked a little Christmassy ... I suppose the red did it!

Poppy Painting, Small Oil Painting, Flower Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8" Oil on Panel
You know how much I love flowers. I love to grow them, and paint them. Since my move to the mountains, I don't have space to grow to many....so I may be painting them more often.
If you have taken pictures of flowers, that you would like to share with me, I would love to see them.

"Poppy Amongst Lavender" by Lynda Cookson
I've just returned from a visit to my daughter and three granddaughters in the UK. The eldest two girls are old enough to feel special about a day alone with granny. The seven year old, Evie, decided that a day at the Lavender farm, picking armfuls of lavender, was her choice .... but she forgot about all the bees! Never mind, calm reactions meant that the bees were soon forgotten and a paper bag was filled with not only purple lavender, but white lavender as well.
Amongst the lavender, wild Poppies were growing ... which brought this little study into being.
"Poppy Amongst Lavender" is available for sale HERE or click either of the two images below or their titles.

"Life is an onion and one peels it crying."--French proverb
Escapism. Defying time. Serenity and solace. Reliving treasured moments...the reasons I paint and make artwork. The creative acts are surely the most pleasant and yet difficult of all. Color and form are special friends. The challenge of perfecting artwork is monumental and exhilarating. This effort has grown to be both friend and family, which are the two most important aspects of my life. Judaica is my most challenging art...Hebrew and I don't always get along!
I'm mainly self-taught in art, relying on intuition, experimentation, benefiting from studying books, visiting museums, galleries and learning painting techniques from other artist friends/relatives. I've studied pastels with Clive Tyler, taken oils with Daniel Edmondson. My newest medium is painting on glass, inspired by an Italian master, bringing this art technique home and applying my own topics. My oils are mainly with palette knife.
This art style might be called "abstract realism", an oxymoron in its own right. Favorite contemporary artists include Cruciani, L Horowitz, Berberian, S Stork, C Tyler, D Edmondson.

"Poppy Field Near Trevi, Italy" by Karla Nolan, original watercolor and ink painting on paper
From the moon to the poppy fields again (my last blog was a lunar blog) -- we were near this field but above it when we first saw it, standing near a wall in Trevi, Italy. Visiting in May, the delightful red flowers were everywhere and we drove all around so I could get some reference photos. Luckily we were successful in navigating to this field, so here you go, some more poppies from me to you!

"Poppies at Paestum (Italy)" by Karla Nolan, original watercolor and ink painting
Located in the southern part of Italy are ancient Greek ruins and, what else, poppies growing near them! They are a marvelous site to see, the combination of blue skies, cypress, the actual Greek ruins surrounded by field stone walls, and the bright red poppies, seemingly unfazed by history long gone by. Visit this extraordinary site if you can, you won't regret it.
