“The black poppies out of number, Nodding, dripping from your brows To the red lees of your wine, And so kept alive and fine? Pan, Pan, is dead.” (ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING)
The red poppy of remembrance has lost its Life’s Blood of compassion and love, and the bleeding butterfly continues moving away forever. Sometimes it feels as if the sisterhood was but a dream from “Once Upon a Time in An Unnatural Life”.
I’ve used A3 Canson pastel paper with Schmincke pastels for this artwork.
