Welsh Poppy
The life story of a Welsh Poppy!
Background and textures include (1) raindrops on window pane, (2) car sun/roof light window and (3) swiss roll baking tray.
I am not very good with verse/poems so please be kind!
Dreaming dreams
Winds blow…
We bend shimmering with grace.
Buzzing bees
Shimmy through stamens…
brushing anthers showering pollen.
Yellow
Petals fall silently softly gently
littering the ground…
New beauty emerges
A summer crown…
Soon black seeds fall like rain
We dream the future.

Some of the poppies before I cut them out – this time I only used the magicwand and eraser.
Welsh Poppy belongs to the following groups:

linskudd replied
Thanks dnlddean. I would love to be able to paint (and do TRY with watercolours) so this is the next best thing for me. I love what I am learning with p/s.
