Red Oriental Poppy


Red Oriental Poppy (c) Tessa Spanton  mixed media
I used watercolour, acrylic, oil pastel, tissue paper and watercolour paper. The tissue I used made lot of texture which does not fully come across in a photo.

These poppies grow in my garden and originally came from my friend Elizabeth's garden.

This painting has been selected for the

on Wednesday 27th June 2012 at 11am

I will also have prints and cards from original silk paintings in the exhibition.
