Just outside my studio in Taos one spring, some poppies were just starting to bloom.  After a long winter, I was anxious to paint some colorful flowers so I set up my French easel and captured these on canvas.

I hope you enjoy seeing this painting.



More to come,


Lee

Beautiful. Resteemed.
Makes me think of Remembrance Day as well, must be my British friends' influence.
