Poppies 15"x20"
Orange was the challenge color I chose for myself. I added the aqua greens and purples after looking at the triadic partners on the color wheel. The three piles of fabric sat on my floor for several days until poppies popped into my mind.
The poppies are poking their heads out of a window. I embellished with beads and crystals.
I needed some black in the lower left corner to balance the black window so I added the Chinese symbols for Poppy which represents rest, beauty, and success---three attributes I wish for you all!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece with my favourite color orange & yellow. Poppies are the flowers I find so cheerful. The Chinese characters you put on are pretty. Love your translation of Poppy to 帕比. If I name a girl "Poppy" I'd call her that Chinese name - sweet.
