Poppies 4 & 5

This diptych was inspired by the Oriental Poppies in my home garden. Working from photographs, I created shapes in Adobe Illustrator, cut them out of various types of paper, added details with colored pencils and paint, and collaged them all together on a stained wood panel. This pair of collage-paintings took over 80 hours to create.
