Poppies and Wheat Fields

Poppies and Wheat Fields

Commugny, Switzerland

7" x 11"

Watercolor on paper

Poppies grow beautifully among the wheat in the farm fields just outside of our gates. I am wondering if the farmer puts them there to keep the bugs away from his wheat crop... assuming that poppies ward off bugs, of course. No matter what the reasons are, it's wonderful to see the beautiful and bright warm reds against the cool blues in the landscape. Misty Jura mountains in the background....

Blue Iris in Commugny

Blue Iris in Commugny

6.5" x 10.5"

This is another one of my irises from my favorite private garden in the neighborhood. My reference photo was taken during broad daylight but I thought I might paint a dark background to make the blue iris "pop out". I hope you like the effect. Have a good day!

Budding Peonie (in Commugny)

Budding Peonie 6"x6"

Watercolor on Arches paper

Flowers are a lot of fun to paint. I used 6 different shades of pink/red to paint this peonie. I spent more time than I usually spend with my daily paintings to finish this budding peonie. I hope you like it! This is yet another flower from my favorite garden in my neighborhood.
