I don’t know much about poppies. I’ve never grown a poppy, and I’m really not
sure I’ve ever seen one growing. I know
the poppies in The Wizard of Oz
almost put Dorothy to sleep, and I know that opium somehow comes from poppies. Those aren’t very positive, but I recently
learned that poppies are a symbol for remembering fallen soldiers. That’s good
to know.
I do think they’re beautiful flowers, but my favorite kind is spelled a different way… My four (five soon) grandkids are so lucky to have my Ron for their Pop-E.

I do love the way this poppy painting turned out. I'm going to enjoy it on my wall until someone decides they need it for their own. I painted them in response to Sara's beautiful poppy portrait photograph on November's Inspiration Collaboration.

That is a beautiful painting, Helen. Fun to see you two with the grands (they have such cute smiles!) :-D.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Wendy. Next time there should be another or two on our laps!
