Sparkling Poppies

Summer in Moscow is short and precious, so I didn’t have many sunny days when I lived there. Since then, I've been on the hunt for bright and colorful subjects to paint. What made me think of poppies? The Red Poppy Festival that took place in Georgetown TX last April! I got so inspired there that I had to paint! I love to capture light doing interesting things as it shines through or off of different objects, whatever those things may be. The light changing the color of flower petals makes it glow, so that's how Sparkling Poppies was born.
