It has been ten years since we had that spectacular poppy season in Three Rivers. I still find them when I walk and in in my yard, but never since have we had them in such abundance.
While I was conducting the private oil painting workshop, I painted two poppy paintings. It is good to be available to the students, but no good to just hover.
I was pleased with them until I saw them in better light in the workshop. Then I saw that they needed another layer or two, and the shapes weren’t quite right. Since I had the colors mixed and another canvas ready to go, I decided to throw in a third poppy.
When they were finished, I realized they still needed reshaping.
When that was finished and dry, I scanned them and realized they still needed another layer on the reshaped edges.
Easy little paintings, no trouble at all, just slam them out, piece of cake, no problem.
Fall down laughing.
FINALLY, they are finished. I think.
