Poppies evoke so many emotions as they stand out in fields that where once home to brave young soldiers entrenched in battles, sacrificing their own lives, for future peace. Their vibrant red flowers and characteristicly shaped seed heads now sway in the breeze, a sobering sight of beauty and awe. However, as many of us do not have access to these vast fields we can still have a few cut flowers and seed pods in a vase bringing these beauties home. My still life piece captures all this and more. Set in a stunning Rosewood timber frame, professionally mounted behind an acid free mat board and standard glass. 'Poppies in a Vase' is ready to hang directly on your wall.
