I did not know that you are doing art as well Lise, but this indeed looks great. I especially like the limited color pallet where red is the dominant color, and the Poppies are really standing out well.

I also like the fine textures showing in the background, and the whites you have added to the bouquet. This is done paying very good attention to details, but still giving the painting a whimsical look.

The format and framing is perfect, and I like the diagonal placement of the bouquet on the canvas. I think this is a truly lovely and well done acrylic painting, and I wish you luck with the contest.

    You are more than welcome Lise. I agree that it is relaxing, because some years ago also I did some painting. Both oil and water colors.

This is a pleasing composition of the Poppies.
There is so much history to the flower.
They are symbolic of remembrance of veterans
inspired by the poem, In Flanders Field.
The Poppies here are a brilliant red with good detail.
There is an energy with the brush strokes and is well done. The focus and clarity are good.
Best of luck in the contest.

Cool,Lise! : )
It's an attractive painting with a brightly attractive 'Modern' kind of a look to it!
It's colorfully attractive and a lot of fun to look at!
A 'Good Show' in my opinion,my friend!

Those poppies are gorgeous. Their color demands our immediate attention. Your bold brush strokes add motion, as if the poppies sway in a breeze. I appreciate the natural look of the flowers. The diagonal presentation from the right corner toward the left pleases the eyes and the equilibrium of the viewers. Your painting is well composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

Nice piece that caught my eye. Great composition and the diagonal lines running from bottom right to top left really enhance that. The red color really grabs your attention.

Very pleasing painting of red poppies, which are one of my favorite flowers. The technique you are using is bringing the details and texture to the viewer, especially the whites on the stems and the center of the bloom. The darker strikes against the white background are also very effective as well.
Very pleasing presentation!

This is just beautiful and so very well rendered, I love the red poppies with white center detail and the white flowers that you have created in this bouquet. The poppies are well shaped with good structure and the colors are well chosen and applied. It's a wonderful arrangement against the silvery white background. Well presented! Beautiful entry for this contest! Best wishes to you!
