Gardener's Bike with Poppy Patch

9x6.5 watercolor, a daily painting, of an old garden shed and the worker's bike and basket.  Photo ref courtesy Susan (WetCanvas Weekend Drawing Event).  I edited lots of the photo out such as foreground, middle ground, paraphrenalia on the bike and clutter around the shed's entrance, and top right I added blue sky.  Foreground I added multicolored poppies.  This was done within the 2 hour time limit of the WDE contest.
