Poppies

Red is my favourite colour: this explains my obsession towards poppies

This painting here, quite different form my usual style, was done for my mom's birthday (next 6th August) and since she loves strong hues and big splotches of colours, poppies were perfect!

Done on a plywood board 55x45 cm with collage and acrylics. For the collage I used crumpled spolvero paper and a mixture of the same quantities of coffee and vynilic glue: the overall effect was really nice, since the coffee permeated more into the paper where it was more wrinkled, giving an "antique" air to the base.
