Poppies Abstracted

#66 Poppies Abstracted ~7x5~ acrylic on collage

I have a larger (24x18 inch) one of these begun...I decided to test out some background colors on a smaller size. (Getting smarter in my old age, right?) This process has no do-overs. Gesso won't help. (Though it would make an incredibly textured surface to do something completely different on.) But these watery pure and transparent effects...it's a one shot deal. Yikes stripes.

Bursting Bouquet

#16 "Bursting Bouquet" 7x5 acrylic

Of course I posted these out of order... I am consistently, inconsistent. :-) The vase is tipping, but it's because these blooms just can't be contained.
