15x22 watercolor collage on 140 lb Saunders Waterford paper painted today. Reference pix were combinations of white wild poppies I took a few years ago but never used; a big clump of these paper thin flowers grow just down Scurry Street from the studio. I put small amounts of white tissue onto the paper using matte medium then drew the flowers when dry. Poppy centers contain latex and can be deadly and quite thorny.Saturday, March 13, 2010

Kind regards,

P.S. what are you doing with the white poppies ? :-)
Well, I'm just looking at the poppies, then photographing them to paint, Jose. They are not worth anything, just weeds.
