Description
Poppy and Poppy – red poppies on concrete grey
Wall art musters a stand of red poppies across a panoramic canvas on thin dark stems rising from the lower edge — painting on canvas whose entire colour story is the meeting of a cold grey and a dense red.
Technique and texture
The petals are painted in thick flat loads of red that lift above the surface at their edges. The centres are dark, nearly black, with single gold-ochre dots in them. Each stem is pulled in one thin stroke, slightly curved and each in its own direction. The grey ground went on in several layers and was then rubbed back, so lighter and darker patches appear across it.
The motif
The poppies are spread along an uneven row across the full width. Some are open and turned straight out; others are seen in profile or half closed. The heights alternate — the tallest reach almost to the upper edge and the lowest stay just above the bottom — which gives the row a wave.
Setting and placement
The row of heads reads left to right like a sentence, so it wants a wall you can walk the length of. The grey catches with concrete, oak and black metal, and the red is what stops the arrangement turning cold.

Poppy and Poppy along a long wall
The panoramic Poppy and Poppy comes in 17 landscape sizes, from 60 x 25 to 340 x 150 cm. Above a 200 cm sofa, two thirds of the width gives 130 x 57 cm, and over a 160–180 cm bed 110 x 48 or 120 x 50 cm. A dining table of about 220 cm suits 150 x 60 cm, and a long hallway can take 200 x 87 or 240 x 105 cm. Selecting YES under Stretcher means the concrete-grey canvas with its poppies arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame for Poppy and Poppy is added only if you want one, in the Frame menu that starts at Without frame. Delivery takes 15–45 days.
The thick, flat loads of red on the petals lift above the surface at their edges, because this painting is hand-painted on canvas and not printed. The first photograph shows the red poppies unframed on the studio easel, and the second photograph in an optional silver frame.
