Purple Poppies

9x12 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done today, my third in a mixed purple hue series, from some of my poppy photos.  I challenged everyone in the Florals forum of WetCanvas to not only choose a purple subject but to mix this secondary color using various blues and reds.  With this, I used Prussian blue + quinacridone violet and got a wide range.
