This is the first year I've planted Icelandic Poppies in my Garden. These are beautiful and daily surprising plants. Every day there are blossoms appearing in a new color. The vast and yet so delicate blossoms reminds me of ballerinas and I could paint them again and again.
For Olivia's monthly Challenge I use a fine pen with drawing gum for the contours. Then I make my washes wet in wet on this really heavy and marvelous paper.
Wish you all a very happy weekend and of course may
color and light be with you
