    What superb work, Carolyn! The colors are heavenly! I love the way you showcased the poppy trio in the foreground, emerging from the more subtle blossoms in the background. Very professional!

  • Carolyn Staut replied

    Thank you so much Bonnie. I struggled with how to photograph them to have an interesting background. I finally settled on some gift wrapping paper LOL! What we won’t do for a composition!

    Gorgeous red poppies! I like the pointillistic background you have created, to!

  • Carolyn Staut replied

    Oh my goodness Carolyn!!!!!!!!!!! I thought this was a ‘traditional’ watercolour!! This is so beautiful and SO thoughtfully and creatively done. You used gift wrap for the background? How clever are you! What a great idea.

    I love the three poppies ….their ‘faces’ are angled so well with one smiling at us and the other two drinking in the sun. It’s just a truly lovely piece of art and so well crafted!

  • Carolyn Staut replied

    Hi Holly, thank you so much for the lovely comments and favoriting. Not easy making a digital ‘traditional’ water color. This one has more layers than someone bundling up for a blizzard LOL! I am so glad you like it.

    Excellent digital painting on your original photo template.
    Beautiful poppies – so hard to grow, yet they will bloom from a crack and bit of dust, on their own!

  • Carolyn Staut replied

    Colin, I thank you for your lovely comment. Yes, they are hard to grow…........and not that easy to paint either LOL!
