Razzle Dazzle 9069, orange poppy diptych by Carol Nelson


This painting is done on two panels measuring 8x24 inches each. I never tire of painting poppies. I tried a new technique on this piece. I tried texturizing the panels with venetian plaster before painting the flowers. Venetian plaster is used in the decorating business to give walls a textured, marble look. I really like the effect. I would not use this on a flexible surface, like canvas, because it could be popped off I suppose. On half inch thick panels there is no danger of that. For purchase information, please see my website.
