"Poppy Love" is a captivating impressionistic painting that celebrates the emotive power of colour and the serenity of nature from the famous Poppy fields in Cornwall; Polly Joke, just North of Newquay. The vibrant red poppies in the foreground acting as a visual anchor, immediately drawing the viewer’s gaze. These blooms are rendered with expressive brushwork, suggesting movement and vitality, while the surrounding grasses and foliage are painted in more subdued tones, allowing the poppies to dominate the composition. 
The background features a tranquil body of water, bordered by gently rolling hills and distant mountains, all beneath a softly clouded sky. This layering of elements creates depth and invites the viewer to journey through the scene. The interplay between the bold foreground and the muted, atmospheric background evokes a sense of peaceful isolation — a moment suspended in time. 
Overall, "Poppy Love" is a compelling work that balances intensity and calm, making it both a statement piece and a meditative experience. 
This painting is beautifully presented in a white tray frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.
