Red Poppies, Random Numbers and a Birdie

#64/365 Paintings

Red poppies and a complex world of color and roots. I think it’s good that a blue headed birdie stand by to watch the action. Likely lots of worm action.

Project notes: I’m officially intoxicated by art. I remember feeling this way in my 20’s when I had my first studio and just started working as a designer at Apple. Design by day, art studio and chocolate cookies with Earl Gray tea by night. Bliss!

  Nice details to notice Daniel. Ellisa’s print of this is in the mail to her. You’ll see it when you go to her fabulous parties.
