Among Themselves

A field of poppies seen from within: bold red blooms rising on arching stems against a pale, open sky. Among Themselves is painted from below, as though the viewer has stepped into the meadow and looked up, catching the flowers mid-conversation. Full blooms press against spent pods and new buds, the whole life cycle present at once. The monoprint underlayer anchors the composition in the textures of leaf and stem, while the poppies themselves burn with color; unruly, generous, and entirely indifferent to being watched.
