This painting is inspired by the riot of iceland poppies growing in my garden. At the risk of sounding like a Chinese restaurant, I decided to call it HAPPY GARDEN because it seems so cheerful to me.
I wasn't going for botanical accuracy here, but rather a jumble of colors, patterns, and textures. I like the checkerboard squares, the multicolored stems, and the dramatic value changes. It all just makes me smile.
This 6x6 happy garden can be yours for $85 including shipping in the US/Canada. Please click here for purchase information on my website.

This piece just sings, Carol. It is truly a happy painting and I too love that checkerboard background. The poppies are, as always, beautiful!
Having just completed another orange poppy piece I'm LOVING all the poppy colors! Beautious my friend!
Gorgeous painting...love the subject and your use of color!
LOL at the not wanting to sound like a Chinese restaurant line.
