Poppies In The Wind.
Everybody it seems likes poppies. So many of us paint them, time and again. I have lost count of the number of poppy paintings I have done.
This one was painted after painting three paintings one after another, none of which I liked. I returned to my favourite poppies and this was what happened.
It sold almost within a week of being hung.
When U painted it I noticed that the poppies were almost in the shape of an arrow. This was exactly how they had been as I saw them along the coastal path.
I did not know whether to call them, Poppies in the Wind, Success this Way.
The second title could so easily have been the title for this morning’s blog. My other blog I mean. The one where I talk about what real success is.
This blog is linked to my other. Let Us Race Again
A fabulous painting Ralph !! You have really captured the swaying of the grasses. :)
ReplyDeletePoppies are my absolute favorite flower. paper. . so of course I like this painting.
ReplyDeleteMany of us have lost sight of the notion of "real" success, haven't we? We think winning a competition is the most important thing there can possibly be. I notice that when people are driving, they seem to think that passing as many cars as possible makes them successful, too. Lately, I've been trying to let as many people as possible go in front of me... It actually makes me happier than trying to compete with them! Anyway... your poppies are so cheerful. I like them very much!
ReplyDeleteI've been bragging a lot lately in my blog but even before my recent sales, I felt very much a success just because of the artist friends I have made through blogging and also the ones I met and got to know in the last few years. I'm so proud to be included in this world of bloggers.
ReplyDeleteOttimo...un bel lavoro!ciaooo Ralph
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised that this painting sold immediately, it is so beautiful! Congratulations!
