Poppies

"Poppies", oil on panel, 24X36

I actually painted this a while ago, but I have been thinking about it lately, so I thought I would post it. I have a friend from Israel and one day we were talking and I told her I wanted to paint a big painting of a field full of white lilies and that I would call it "Lilies of the Field", and she told me that in Israel, when someone says lilies of the field, they are referring to poppies, I had no idea. I still want to paint the white lily painting, but I am even more interested in poppies than I was before, and I want to explore them even more, especially in this new context.
