This painting of Icelandic Poppies is a bountiful bouquet that will never fade. I painted these bright flowers through the grey months of winter when I needed a welcome shot of colour to break through the low grey cloud of the valley. This painting has found its forever home close to me in Deep Creek, BC.

Below you will see me at my easel with the stay-wet palette close by. The picture on the right shows the painting in its earliest stage of development. I usually paint the shapes onto the canvas in yellow and then add in the colours on top. Can you see the snow outside!
