Poppies in Red \u2013 three heads in one colour<\/h2>\n

Painting on canvas floods the whole surface with a single colour \u2014 ground, air and light are all red \u2014 and lets three open poppy heads rise out of it on thin dark stems: abstract painting in practice, because with no second colour the motif has to be read through texture alone. A horizontal gold band cuts across just below the middle.<\/p>\n

Technique and texture<\/h3>\n

The red is laid in several overlapping layers with swirling traces cut into them, so the surface is nowhere even. The gold band is drawn in one pass and stays smooth, which is what separates it from the worked ground around it. The white dots in the flower centres are set down last as small raised drops.<\/p>\n

The motif<\/h3>\n

The heads are not symmetrical \u2014 two open toward the viewer, the third is tilted and partly closed, with a bent bud hanging beside it. The stems are made with one thin unbroken line from the bottom edge to the flower. Because nothing else happens in colour, the eye works entirely on relief.<\/p>\n

Setting and placement<\/h3>\n

A single-colour piece needs a neutral wall \u2014 white, grey or concrete \u2014 and room around it. One wall has to take it alone; nothing else should be hung near it.<\/p>\n
