Pink Poppy

This painting is based on a photo of a poppy taken at the Toowoomba Festival of Flowers. The background is done using acrylic with the damask pattern in metallic gold. The sides of the canvas are painted and the artwork is protected with gloss varnish. It is ready to hang with a wire across the back.

I am an artist based in Brisbane, Australia, and I specialize in oil on canvas. My work is based on photography, either my own or other stock images as indicated by credits in the description. My favorite subjects are flowers and aquatic life. I consider art to be more a way of seeing than creating pieces to hang on a wall. I’m aware that everything I see is my interpretation of light and colour. I attempt to replicate this in my drawings and paintings, paying close attention to detail.I have also painted murals on a number of traffic signal boxes for the Brisbane City Council.
