Why won’t poppies put them to sleep, and who exactly is “them”?
It is a reference to The Wizard of Oz, a joke that won’t matter if it needs to be explained.
My poppies won’t put anyone to sleep because they are very bright. Here are the latest oil paintings in progress:
These two are finished (the clue is the signature).
These two aren’t finished (the clue is the messiness).
This one is finished (once again, the signature is your clue).
This one is less messy, but clearly unfinished.
Daylight was waning*, so I moved it inside to dry and will put the finishing touches on it another day.
*You can manipulate the clock all you want, but it will NOT create more daylight.
