"Poppy Planet"

[Santaman]

Oaah! great! wonderful job!

Need high res pic for wallpaper usage...

[RJDiogenes]

Whoa! Those poppies really pop out at me. It's like there's two different contrasts going on at the same time. The red against the green and the red against the clouds and sky. It's like 3D.

YOU ARE THIS HAIKU


You are this haiku:
Dip your finger in water
Write on the pavement.

[RJDiogenes]

Hah. Nice idea. I wish I thought of that.

[curiousa2z]

heh. thanks. so help me think of a title....

[RJDiogenes]

I like the title you have. You could also go with something like "Who Are You?" or "I Know You" or "Hi, Haiku."

[curiousa2z]

*thumbs up*

still too much snow for me so one more painting of poppies (you should see my front yard in the summer!).
this is the painting I donated to the church fund-raiser, using the part of the old steeple as a frame. I am really pleased with the morning sky. I wanted the poppies to represent remembering our vibrant past, but the morning sky showing it's a new day and we move on at the same time.

[RJDiogenes]

Wow, that came out great. The painting really goes well with the frame. It's like waking up and looking out the window.

[curiousa2z]

that's what I was going for! Thanks, RJ!
*pleased*

[Santaman]

Cool! awesome job.

[curiousa2z]

thanks Bro!
heh...let's hope it raises alot of money now....

[curiousa2z]

latest one- after a man saw that poppy painting at the fund raiser he told his wife he wanted a poppy painting for his birthday. I've got this one done and am almost finished another so she can choose between them.

[Santaman]

very nice.

[RJDiogenes]

Wow, that's beautiful. I love the proportions and perspective, as well as the richness of the colors. Also, I love country scenery. Is that painted from life?

[curiousa2z]

thanks guys - RJ, it's from a reference photo - but with some of my own modifications.

[RJDiogenes]

Ah. I was wondering if it might be a place near where you live.

[curiousa2z]

it's an amalgamation of two places and my imagination.

[RJDiogenes]

It's real in the curi-verse.

[curiousa2z]

true - and that's the secret - we artists can create whatever we want in our mediums of choice.

[RJDiogenes]

You should see the RJ-verse.
