Painting: Mixed media

Poppies add a riot of colour to my garden, just before the roses open their blossoms. Poppy flower heads aren't long lived, their soft petals fall off quickly in wind or rain and turn into mushy blobs on the garden path. I wanted to record their beauty and did this painting using watercolours and wax resist.
