Welcome to My Poppy Paintings!

The poppy is one of the flowers I most love to paint and you will find a growing assortment of poppy paintings here as I continue adding them to this lens.

I grow these beauties covering most of two lots, so dawn in early summer is magical at my house. I rove through the gardens with the bees, each of us collecting our own sweet harvests.

Of all my acrylic floral paintings, the poppies are definitely my favorites. The drama and intensity of them are unmatched.

I should mention that all my artwork shown on this lens is copyright protected. If you want prints, or originals for that matter, you can find them on my art site featuring my flower paintings.

Come often to visit these dawn flower paintings and dream of summer breezes!

Dewglow

Dewglow 

An Acrylic Painting on Paper

This backlit poppy is one of my smaller works, only 18" by 12.75". The back lighting makes the dewdrops quite a challenge to paint since the normal highlights are subdued from seeing them through the petals.

Purification

Purification 

A luminous white poppy with early morning dew

This large acrylic painting measures 56" wide by 44" high with painted gallery wrap edges. The flower has a subtle lavender glow and dew drop accents.

Center of the Sun 

An Original Acrylic on Canvas Painting

Center of the Sun was shown at the Yellowstone Art Museum. It is a large painting, 60 inches wide by 46 inches high, and has a dramatic impact.

You can read about some surprising responses to the painting in my blog article Center of the Sun.

Harmony 

An Original Acrylic Poppy Painting

This poppy painting is one of my smaller works and shows a glorious tangle of poppies, pods, and leaves in early morning light.

The acrylic on watercolor paper gives a soft effect that works well with the poppies.
