Art of the Day: "Roadside Poppies, 2015" by Alexandra Buckle

“I spotted these poppies growing on a roadside verge on a beautiful sunny day and couldn't resist capturing them. I was particularly drawn to the shape of the curving stems on the poppy buds and the brightness of the red petals with the summer light shining through them from across the nearby field. I chose to describe these poppies with five layered up colours which I cut and hand printed all from one block of lino.”
