Red Oriental Poppy 8"x10" oil on stretched canvas.
This Southwest Asian plant is widely cultivated for its brilliant scarlet and black colors. There is nothing as pleasing as looking at a field or flower bed of red poppies. Some poppies are valued by herbalists for their medicinal value as a curative for sleeplessness. The common garden poppy, however, is in no manner opiating. The red poppy is a symbol of the American Legion. In the
U.S. it is used as a symbol of soldiers injured or killed in war and is an artificial red poppy is often worn at Memorial Day ceremonies. I am working on an 18"x24" canvas of a bouquet of red poppies because I enjoy painting them so much.
