Twilight Prickly Poppies

13.5x21.5 watercolor on Langton 140 lb cold press paper completed today, inspired by the thousands of prickly poppies growing around here.  Background was painted using Daniel Smith Nickel AzoYellow, alizarin crimson, and phthalo blue primary set.  Shadows on the wildflowers' white petals were mixed with several palette colors for varied greys.
