At this stage I am starting to develop the color
tone and intensity of the oranges and reds. I
will paint the center poppy in red and add some
rich brown color to the background
Poppies are very symbolic. They are know to
symbolize beauty, fertility, eternal life and
rest as well as being an emblem of remembrance
for those who fought and died in World War I.
I have several varieties in poppies in my
garden. Some of the new ones are a very deep
red, I also like the wild red Tuscany poppies
and the orange California ones which reseed
themselves in my flowerbed every year
