Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date's 'A Poem' theme. I am showing a poppy ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2"). The poem I had in mind was 'In Flander's Fields' by John McCrae.
I am not one for poetry, but happy to come up with something for the theme today! I do enjoy quotes though.
I decided to bake some shrimp the other day. 400F for 6-8 mins depending on the size of the shrimp. It is so much easier than sauteing them in a pan. Just add your favourite seasonings and some olive oil.
I love shrimp!
ReplyDeleteLovely Poppy! Awesome shrimp I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteLove the art! & the shrimp looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, lovely flower, and thanks for the tip with shrimp, never would have thought to bake it-I usually do a shrimp boil but this looks good Happy thursday Kathy
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous poppy painting! And of course, you know that every Canadian learned "In Flanders Fields" at school! I hope they still teach it today.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful art.
ReplyDeleteThe shrimp look terrific.
ReplyDeleteOhhh I love that red on black very dramatic. Shrimp cooked anyway is good for me. Have a great day, Christine.
ReplyDeletei think poppies are my favorite flowers. That shrimp looks good.
ReplyDeleteNice art 🌺 🍤
ReplyDeleteThat is a very beautiful poppy.
ReplyDeleteSeems my comment failed to publish, so will try again.
ReplyDeleteI also love that McCrae poem. It is so poignant. Your shrimp looks delicious, but I would hesitate to heat my oven when the temps are in the 40s C outside. They sure look good, though.
Nice artwork :-D
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see a poppy I always think of ‘In Flanders Fields’. It is a very poignant poem. Your artwork is striking with the contrasting color. It is beautiful! The shrimp looks great, thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteThe poppy is beautiful and vibrant. I luv shrimp ☺
ReplyDeleteHappy you dropped by my blog
Much💚love
That poppy is exceptional.
ReplyDeleteBella flor me gusto. Pintas muy bien. Los camarones se ven muy ricos. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous poppy Christine. And I haven't had shrimp for quite awhile so your pan of baked shrimp looks too yummy. I may have to make some soon. STay cool and have a great rest of your week.
ReplyDeleteThe shrimp looks delicious. A beautiful poppy for that poem. The black background is so fitting too.

...I have a difficult time reading poems, but I enjoy hearing them. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe ACEO is fantastic. Wish I could buy shrimp like that to cook.
ReplyDeleteI chose the rose :)
ReplyDeleteLovely flower and I love shrimp.
ReplyDeleteI love your poppy and Flanders Field is one of my favorite poems. Thanks for the shrimp timing -- I love shrimp and cook it often but always sauteeing which is kind of a pain -- you have to keep such a close eye. I'll try this next time. And thanks for stopping by my blog, too!
ReplyDeleteYour Poppy is gorgeous and your shrimp look delicious ... what spices did you add? I will try backing the shrimp next time as I agree it would be much easier and less clean up :) Stay cool, Christine ...

I add salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, basil, olive oil. Sometimes lemon juice or balsamic vinegar and a bit of sugar.
DeleteSuch a lovely poppy and the poem 'In Flander's Fields' by John McCrae is so poignant.
ReplyDeleteShrimps look very tasty.
All the best Jan .
The shrimps look really delicious! This reminds me that it's been much too long since I had any.
ReplyDeleteYour poppy is beautiful Christine! I love that you used black art paper! Oh the shrimp! I have had shrimp in ages...must have some soon. I like to make mine "scampi" style with lots of garlic and butter!!! ☺☺
