This is lovely. I like the loose feel it has. It's very relaxing to look at. The colors are beautiful and the background work really makes the flowers dance. Well done

What a great piece this is. Very classic look to it. It looks like water color but done with pastels. The color selection is perfect. I love California poppies and these remind me of them. Well done, great job.

Such a lovely painting of theses poppies. I love the textures of the central part and the clarity of the seeds. The contrasting shades of the background also made the blooms to stand out. The vertical frame fits well.

Flowers needs more work to actually look like poppies. The colour in the background is
good but there's room for more. Adding more vibrant colours could do wonders

    ha, disappointed in your review of this, but to each their own, I love them just as they are and I have been doing poppies in a lot of ways and medium, its a good thing other artists dont think the same or I would never post anything ever again,

Nice colorful creations. The flower forms are good. The depth is good. The shading is good. The blend of the colors is good. The details is good. Lisa the only thing that brought this rating down is your presentation. When you present your work to the world it would be best to crop out any excess that is not the artwork. That excess can distract viewers from your good work. Still it is a nice creation and good job overall

Love this one, definitely prefer it to the tulips which I liked. The colors and various heights of the poppies give a real feel to the artwork and you have created a very enjoyable work to view.
