Paint a Poppy

Celebrate the many paintings in the Crocker that depict the state flower. Take a close-up look at the poppy and analyze the shapes that make up its form. Afterward, make several drawings from observation with pictures as the model, then choose one to develop into a painting on an 11” X 14” painting on canvas.
