California Poppies

California poppies grow wild all over Southern New Mexico and Arizona each spring. You know the season is really here when the poppies turn the hillsides orange.

Among my earliest memories is of picking poppies for my mother and watching her put them in a jelly jar of water.

Photographing framed art is tricky, and the shot is wonky, but you get the idea..

This piece was painted to hang in my new office when I changed jobs in April. It brightens up the wall by my desk and makes me happy, and that's a good thing to have.

Thanks for stopping by! Alice
