Heirloom Poppies

8.5x5 alcohol inks on heavy stock paper done today.  Yesterday I started it by putting Cloudy Blue only on the background.  Today Sunshine Yellow was added, then three different reds for the poppies.  Centers are Mantilla Black and stems are Lettuce applied with a wooden chopstick.
