A joyful, expressive arrangement of poppies painted in layers of vibrant red and coral. I allowed the flowers to overlap and crowd together, concentrating on their shapes and the relationships between the colours. The deep green oval vase provides a strong, quiet anchor, while areas of pattern, rubbed-back paint and visible marks create a richly layered surface beneath and around the flowers.
