After visiting a field full of poppies of all different colors, I found some of these that were off white and peach tones stripping through the petals. The dark blue center took on a turquoise sheen in the sun. I snipped one and brought it home to paint for fun. Using watercolor paper, I started with the drawing and came up with this image. I added touches of blues, yellows and turquoise in the background to accent the center and peachy tones. The flowers of most poppy species are attractive and are widely cultivated as annual or perennial ornamental plants.
