"With their rich scarlet blooms dotting the colorful countryside, Poppy Fields are a subject that continues to inspire me. For this series in oil, I used a combination of brush and knife work to create a push and pull dynamic between smoothness & texture, calm & movement, cool & warm, realism & abstraction.   I invite the viewer to join me in dancing through the poppy fields and feeling this same delight!"
