And the Winner is....

Well, not really a winner but the painting that was chosen to be the gift for a young girl named Poppy. Here it is!
#1036 - Peachy Poppy #2
As you may remember I had a commission from a friend to paint a picture of poppies. The only instructions where to size - 7 x 10 and the colour - a soft peachy pink - the rest was up to me!

I found that a bit confusing so I decided to paint a number of pieces to give my friend lots of choice. I have shared the first two before but here they are again.
#1014  Peachy Poppy #1

#1020 - Poppies by the Fence
I did one more version of this last piece with fewer poppies - sort of a close-up view.
#1037 - Poppies by the Fence #2
All four paintings were very favourably received and it took my friend and her husband a few days to decide which one they preferred. It is so nice when a customer is satisfied!

By the way - I have three poppy paintings for sale - lol!

    All of them are so lovely, I would have a hard time choosing one over the others. What a nice gift for Poppy.

      Thanks Joan. I think my friend and her husband had the same problem - they liked them all so it took almost a week for them to decide.

      Thank you Win. I am pleased with how most of them turned out and I hope young Poppy will like the painting chosen for her.

    Val these are all so beautiful!! the last one really is eye catching, I think the close up view is a great idea. The chosen one is so sweet, and I love the leaves in the second one. The changes you made to fence #1 really work :)

      Thanks Sheila. I love it when things work out well and the customer is happy. Although all of these are the same subject they are all different - isn't art wonderful that way?

    Oh so Beautiful!! The first one and also the second one brought sweet memories of childhood...something I have few of, actually. Thank you for sharing your extraordinary talent with us.
