“Poppy Solo”

36 x 24″ Oil on Canvas

Obviously inspired by a favorite artist, Georgia O’Keeffe, this poppy painting is playing homage to my mother’s poppy garden and the early blooms of spring. I’m looking for some comments here:  what symbolizes spring to you?  Mine is this, along with the start of the legion baseball season.  Go Post 164!

We are experiencing a couple days of showers in the Black Hills of South Dakota, and the rain is much needed.  It isn’t often that the fire danger is high in the spring here.  So, April showers bringing May flowers is a good promise of maintaining the beautiful Black Hills, and seeing plenty of green coming up!
