Poppy Imagination

5.5x8 alcohol inks on gessoed matboard done yesterday, an imaginary floral resembling poppies somewhat loosely.  In an abstract manner I dropped large areas of yellow and red together over 91% alcohol wash.  Leaves were put in next by using black + yellow, then stamens were last with black.  For the frilly edges I blew on a drinking straw at at 90 degree angle straight down.
