THE POPPIES GROW ART SHOW

WALTZING POPPIES 2   SOLD



" ECHOES "
Was painted in mixed media as a statement.  Although poppies are cheerful, colorful and lively, there is none of that in war.  In the painting the poppies are wilted and sad, as they drift off into the distance they appear to turn into a pool of blood.  The crosses in the foreground depict the graves of our brave soldiers, they are green as the grass as they have now become one. We must never forget the soldiers in the trenches. Because out of sight is out of mind, I  chose to also include the morbidity of the subject.
