Today’s featured art prints are very simplistic, yet bold. The two prints are titled “Red Poppies” and “Red Poppy” (talk about a stretch for the names).
There are three basic elements to these prints, each important for the final look. The first element is texture. I created these two prints using a technique with large, bold brush strokes. The second element is the background. Using a dark background allows the flowers to dominate the print. The third element is the color red. Red is a strong color and creates a bold look. Again, simplistic, yet bold.
Thoughts?

What the crap is that thing? I have no idea what type of bug it is….ugh. We have weird stuff in Arizona, but I have never seen anything like that…where does he live?
LOL! Love your response! Yeah! Freaky isn’t it? I don’t know where he lives?
The dark background does cause them to pop!
Thanks for stopping by!!
Welcome. I always enjoy the show.
They are beautiful Kirt. I use poppies as my logo 😀
Thank you very much Irene!!
The end result is gorgeous, Kirt! Fantastic work. You do make it look easy, but it sounds difficult. Hugs!
Thank you very much….tedious is the word I use😀
Kirt as I have mentioned before i love the rich, dark colors. These red poppies are spectacular. They remind me of cycling in Italy where fields of them cheered us on from the sides of roads.
Thank you very much Sue! Clearly my next poppy photo shoot will have to entail a trip to Italy!! 😎
Sounds like an excellent idea!
Brilliant and impressive paintings, and they are certainly serving the symbol of remembrance..
Thank you very much Indah!!
Beautiful, Kirt. I am borderline useless on art commentary, but I really liked the textured waves of the black background– a nothingness with life in it is how it felt. Truly wonderful… I look forward to more explorations here.
Peace
Michael
I appreciate the fact that you took the time to comment and your kind words are greatly appreciated! Thank you!! Kirt
I analyzed the two complimentary red poppy pieces and liked the top one bedt. I like the way you can see the time and brush strokes in these. Kirt, these are truly gorgeous!
Thank you very much….they were created at the request of my wife….she lives red poppies! Thank you for stopping by!!
Truly lovely red poppies, Kirt, and I liked hearing how you composed them too. I espec. like the stamens and the shadows.
Thank you very much Jet! As always, I truly appreciate your feedback!!
