Inspired by California's superbloom, this painting is my interpretation of a field of poppies on a misty morning. I love the way the landscape changes with the light, how the distant blues and soft grays sit against the warmth of the orange field.
I wanted to keep the composition simple and let the colors do the work. The layers of orange, ochre and muted gold have a wonderful relationship with the cooler tones of the sky. There is something I love about that contrast—the warmth of the flowers against the quietness of the morning.
For me, it's another exploration of color, light and the beauty of the California landscape.
