Based on my own photograph, this is a digital painting in impressionism style featuring red poppy fields in Umbria, Italy. During the month of May, many of the fields in the valley below our house in Central Italy suddenly burst into colour, filled with bright red poppies. Poppies are the most amazing wildflower, they love disturbed ground, so ploughed agricultural land is the ideal place for them to grow. During this period of natural beauty, driving anywhere reveals fields of red poppies, or poppies in the hedgerows or on woodland edges. Just stunning. I wanted to capture that jaw dropping moment as you stand and look at red poppy fields. Your eye tends not to focus on one poppy in particular but takes in the whole glorious display as you stand and drink it in. The red almost merges into large areas of colour, contrasting beautifully with the dappled green of the grassland.
Born in the South of England I now live half way up a mountain in Umbria, Italy. I work from my art studio looking out over fabulous views of the Italian countryside. I am so happy to share my artwork with you.
