Are They Poppies? Painting

A long time artist living in a small farm community in coastal California. I am a free spirit artist so my work is varied and hard to categorize. I love strong color and texture. What medium I use and when, is determined by my subject and mood I want to convey. My paintings are most often landscapes, botanical, or birds. When I would cry as a small child, my grandfather had the best advise. He would say "get the pencil". He did, and that is how my tears left and where my story started. Thank you for checking out my collection. "Art is about ideas, and ideas are like weeds, always finding their way up." The Invisible Life of Addie Larue.
