Poppies are ridiculous flowers. So tricky to capture their absurd flamboyance without overworking them and just painting blobs. But after staying up all night trying, then getting six hours sleep, then trying again this afternoon, I finally got a painting I really like.

A watercolor painting of five bright red poppies on a plain white background. There are two buds and two seed pods mixed in with the blooms. The thin stalks rise up out of a variegated cluster of loosely painted poppy leaves. A white watermark overlapping the lower right corner of the painting reads “KNEZEK©”
