Painterly Poppy

Hi all, just back from a very wet Wales, so got some catching up to do ............. did manage to pick up a few more 'props' though. Our best day was spent at a Nature Reserve just north of Porthcawl, found some lovely wild orchids there and had a lovely wander.

This Poppy image is from a few weeks back and I've tried to do a 'painterly' background, which hopefully tones quite well with this lovely wooden vase that I've had for some time and normally keep dried flowers or grasses in.

Well hope you like it, as ever look forward to your comments and critique as these are always helpful ............ good to be back and now need to look see what you've all been up to.
