Some lovely poppies.

[Maggie Terlecki]

I have friends that have a beautiful zen garden and for the second time this year I've gone to visit it. This last weekend, I had a helper so brought along some black and white foam core to separate some flowers from the myriad of flowers growing there.

I so enjoyed my time and would like to share 2 of the images I took of poppies while there because I think they are great!

I'm not sure how to show them a bit bigger as thumbnails (even though you can click to see them bigger) do not do them justice.

There’s An option next to the thumb nails as to “full size” or “icon” so I did it for U 🦉!

Maggie,

But these are not tulips, this time.


I see your are exploring!

The black background and the lighting partly from above is perfect!

Thank you Asher, I'm glad you like it! The crepe papery kind of petal is so beautiful. Hard to do it wrong! Maggie

 

[Dr Klaus Schmitt]

lovely indeed!

 

[Jerome Marot]

These look very nice and the idea to build a makeshift studio background directly in the garden is brilliant!

Thank you, Jerome. The idea worked so well. The foam-core is so lightweight and there was no setting up, just put the card behind the flowers so in and out in no time at all, and not creating any hullabaloo, not disturbing anyone.

Thank you! I wanted to go back this year, but with Covid, there were no garden returns, this summer perhaps. They have gorgeous flowers!

Just beautiful.

 

[Maggie Terlecki]

Thank you so much, Peter. These poppies are huge, about 4 feet tall and so beautiful!

 

[Asher Kelman]

Still exceptional over a year later. The impact is just as strong.

Again, Maggie, fabulous work!

Have you used these for cards or framed prints!

Thank you for the kind words Asher. They can be purchased as prints, but I compete with hundreds of thousands of artists, and they mostly don't get seen. Poppies are a very popular subject so if my images come up on page 250, not many see them. I would actually one day like to have a couple prints of these in my home perhaps quite large and on acrylic, because they would look modern that way, but I already struggle financially so that will have to wait!

Wow, those poppies look stunning! I'm so glad you had someone to help you separate the flowers, it looks like it was a great success. I bet the zen garden looks even more beautiful now with the addition of the foam core. I’m sure you’ll have many more enjoyable visits there!

Thank you so much, Tim! The foam core doesn't stay there, she was just helping me by placing it behind the flowers. As for Asher's question. Since I had posted, I've actually sold some of these, as prints. I also, printed out the top one, with the black background for my home. It's quite big, and I got too enthusiastic about purchasing it without really measuring and need to find a better place to put then planned as it 's too big...eeeH! I hope to go back this year, as the last couple of years with the pandemic, nobody was really taking any chances, but this year things are much better. The garden in not huge compared to something you'd find in a big city, but it's gorgeous and I know the owners that are both artists, and will have no problem spending plenty of time. It's only been about a week that we finally have no snow, so I'm getting antsy about shooting new flowers growing!
