Creative Tuesdays' current theme is 'Poppies'. I decided to do purple poppies as they do come in all colours. I even think these are the opium producing poppies. Opium is a drug which contains morphine and codeine. This piece is done on textured cardstock in acrylic (8 1/2"h x 11"w).

Beautiful poppies. Have a great Tuesday Christine!!
It is pretty, Christine, and I love that color!

I like the color combination on this one!
That is very pretty, Christine. Such nice colours.
oooh, this is wonderful! I'm so used to the red ones that seeing the purple is a nice change.
have a great day.
Wonderful. This year I gave to my mom a flower like this!
I love to give flowers to people, I think it's an amazing gift...
Have a nice week!
great painting
I'm a big fan of purple flowers! These are so lovely and delicate!
Wow, I never knew there were other colours for poppies! you;ve expanded my world vision there, Christine, thank you! And, wow, these look fabulous. Love the exact perfect colours you chose to put together. Perfect combo with similar values giving it a wonderful effect. Great job! Love it.
Finally, but importantly, I have moved the blog link on dottyhill.com to now point back to my blogger account, http://creativetuesdays.blogspot.com/. Please use this now then and if you would, update your link. You can still, of course link to my dottyhill for other links, just not the specific CT sign up stuff.
I decided that as my blog has pretty much only been CT I should really keep it separate and I can always use my biz FB page for any other updates, or showing work in progress etc, as I need to spend more time there anyway! Thanks so much.
I just want to say, I think this may be the VERy best design piece you've done for CT. It really is brilliantly arranged. So lovely and well thought out for placement, etc.
Very nice, Christine. I love poppies and I love the colors you chose for this artwork.
This is gorgeous! Well done. I haven't been in the right space for drawing, but you do inspire me!

Oh I just saw that I have missed this amazing artwork. How beautiful it is! These colors are perfect! Looking at this gorgeous picture makes me really happy! I LOVE it!
Christine, this is beautiful. Very stylised and uncluttered.
I agree with Michael, this painting of your poppies are so lovely and one of your best. I too was surprised to learn poppies come in all colors... I've only seen shades of yellows, orange and reds.
I agree. This really is a VERY inspiring piece! :) So impressed. Alex nd I were just looking at it together now and loving it.
Oh good. Hee. I am not the only one.
Thank you Michael!
