Poppies Passing by Mikki Alhart

Poppies Passing by

This 24”X 24” oil painting was inspired by the remaining flower fields planted in Lompoc, California. For many years Burpee seeds planted hundreds of acres of flowers in our home town. One of my husbands and my favorite pastimes is to seek out the remaining fields and photograph them. I see such amazing color and character in the poppies as they are about to pass by.

    So very beautiful, Mikki!!!

  • Thank you so much Pam. Your pastels are amazing. I took my first pastel class at an art seminiar here in Pasadena California and the instructor advised me not to continue with pastel even though I had an immediate passion for this medium. I have copd and she said it would only make it worse. :( I was so sad to hear that. I am curious, where is Olathe?

  • Dearest Roger thank you so very much for your wonderful compliment. You are so kind to inspire me to keep on keeping on. I noticed you were from Riverside………..Is that Riverside California? I was one of the founders of the Cask N Cleaver, Lord Charleys, and El Gato Gordo. Just curious. Your address was a blast from the past. Also thank you for choosing my painting as featured in Freedom to Shine. Your commitment to give of your time and yourself to fellow artist is a true blessing to us all. Thank you for being you!
