Red Poppies, Lavender Skies by Karla Nolan, painting on glass



I've always like the combination, hot as it is, of red and purple. It's anything but subtle, but then most of my artwork tends to be colorful. Hopefully that's an indication of my personality! My husband is of the idea that we paint our emotional personalities -- some are dark, some are perfectionistic, some of subdued, my art is color, color, and more color! Can't help it, it's who/what I am, I guess.

Anyway....poppies continue to inspire me. While in California last week, I enjoyed the bright oranges of the California poppies occasionally seen along the roads. It would be great to see a blue Himalayan poppy, but that hasn't happened yet. So I'll pretty much stick to painting the bright reds that are so vibrant and lively.

Have a good day!
