This painting highlights the freshness of the summer sky
 behind the boldness of the poppy.

as well as to inspire restful sleep.

Poppies blowing in the breeze one sunny summer morning. 
 The gentle breeze fans the flowers in a subtle dance, moving them just enough
 to highlight the sun shining through the petals.  
The music of a gentle breeze invites us to dance.

Evening Poppies

These oriental poppies begin to close as evening approaches. 
Walking through a garden of poppies as they begin to close 
at the end of the day, 
reminds us how nature has it's own way of 
resting peacefully after a day of splendor.

26x 18Historically poppies have been seen as symbols of sleep, of peace, of death 
and in more recent history, as symbols of remembrance of loss through war and conflict. 
The poppies in this painting are painted to symbolize 
the power, the significance and the simplicity of remembrance.
