Original artwork description:

This is an acrylic painting of poppyseed heads, painted part from real life and part imagination. The strong tonal contrast has been incorporated to create depth and a powerful presence for the poppy seed head.

It is titled 'Laterne' the German word for Lantern, as it is glowing. It's not a direct or accurate representation of a poppy seed head; the colour, positioning, vibrancy and leaves have been deliberately enhanced and exaggerated yet simplified to it's purest, elegant form.

It has been painted by layering translucent Acrylic paint combined with heavy acrylic paint to create depth and range within the background and poppyseed creation.

Materials used:

Acrylic on canvas
