This painting is inspired by a scene I came across during one of my walks along the Thames Path in England. It was mid summer in 1996 when I came around a bend in the river to see this field of beautiful red poppies stretching away into the distance. It's near the small village of Boveney, about 3 kilometres west of Windsor Castle and Eton College. The area has changed significantly since the construction of an artificial lake which became the Eton College Rowing Centre. It was used as the rowing venue during the 2012 London Olympics.

The artwork is painted on premium 5 ply Baltic Birch from Finland which has been sealed and primed with several coats of acrylic gesso. The artist quality oils used are by the renowned Dutch manufacturers Royal Talens (Rembrandt) and Old Holland. It is framed and ready for hanging.

If you live near Tweed Heads or the Gold Coast you're welcome to come by and view the painting before committing to purchase.
