Poppies in the Field

Poppies in the Field

Acrylic on canvas

20/100 signed and dated

Another in the Poppy Series painted this summer. I had just learned about my grandmother being a British Home Child to Canada and the circumstances of how she left her home in England. Her father, my great grandfather, was killed in the war. While I had always known we wore poppies in July and on other occasions, I was never sure why except to remember fallen soldiers.

I had to work out the symbolism of poppies and hold that close with their beauty.

Bold, strong, resilient, hope.

Acrylic paints mixed with matte and gloss gel medium, brushes and a variety of palette knives are used to create this 18 x 18″ painting. 

This painting is one of a kind, original work created in Charlotte, North Carolina by Professional Artist, Pamela Roberts
