This wild, shaggy pink poppy suddenly arrived in my flower bed (I didn't plant it) and it was crying out to be painted. I chose a background of 'Saxony' from Edward Bulmer Natural Paint, which is a beautiful, rich blue/ green.
 
Dimensions: 90 cm h x 70cm on thick 350gsm raw-edged watercolour paper.
Framing: paper is 'floating' on a backdrop of natural linen with a limed oak frame
