White Poppy

This beautiful white poppy was inspired by a wonderful friends vase of fresh flowers. I am so attracted to poppies as they are like ballerinas with their petals representing  tutus. This composition attracted me as the poppy is the main focus like a prima ballerina with the background being there supporting her. I love the contrast of light & dark shading highlighting the hero of the painting… the poppy. She dances for you.
