The
opium poppy , a beautiful and seemingly
benign work of art of nature, yet holds such a nefarious history back to the
Greeks and Romans. It was worshiped as Morpheous because of how the dreamy and
sleepy concoction was thought to be from the Gods. Of course that was Morphine.
Some of the most beautiful plants are very deadly too.In the South we grow “Angel
Trumpet” which has a huge yellow bloom that is spectacular .It’s a member of
the Datura species and was used in Victorian times when you wanted to off
someone .”Here honey, try this delicious tea.”
Wars
were even started over it yet when I see poppies in bloom, the paper thin
illuminative colors are a treasure and a heralding of Spring and what nature is
about to reveal.
BTW….I’m
not growing opium poppies. LOL
This
painting is heavily textured with molding paste, organic material such as peat moss,
dried weed, crackle paint, chopsticks and molding paste .I hope the new owner
enjoys it.
