California Poppies--Original American Oil Painting

It has poured rain all weekend. With the bleak, wet weather, I decided to paint something that reminds me of brighter days. This little 5x7 oil painting on hardbaord is just that, a brighter day. It was inspired by the blooming of lovely orange California Poppies in a grassy field. Late afternoon shadows and dark green foliage provide a wonderful contrast to their little orange faces. SOLD
