The textures and the designs that you created in the petals is very nice. Although the darker tones didn't turn out as you envisioned, I still think they look great. The highlights look good. I like how you included unopened poppies too. The background colors harmonize nicely too.

Beautiful watercolor! I really like the varying shades of pink, they add a lot of depth to this piece. The composition, especially concerning the placement of the flowers is visually pleasing. Beautiful work!

I think you are coming along very nicely. Yes, the more pink partially opened bloom is exceptional. The full bloom is also very well done, but I understand how you want to get it just the way you want it. It is an attractive and appealing arrangement too. Keep at it.

Very nice image. Good composition that is interesting to view. Good colors and accurately presented flowers. The full open poppy shows the essential shape and details for the flower. The partial is a nice bit of fluff.
Well seen and well presented.

Oh this is a pretty piece Linda!

Love that you included some of those wonderful Poppy seed heads. Blossom colors are perfect and really like the view from behind on the lower flower. Like this one a lot.

I like this one much more than the poppies from last week. The colors are fantastic and the poppies are shown in very fine detail. When I shoot a subject I expect to delete most of the images...amazing how practice improves the product.

Its delightful! I agree that the partially opened poppy turned out quite nicely.I love the way you presented the pods as well, particularly the one in the lower left. You are definitely well on your way with the watercolor washes Thanks for sharing.

I love the pale, early morning background and I love the veins and the depth on the fully open flower. You did a great job with the leaves in this painting and i love the blue flowers, too, the nuances in color. Great job :)

Linda, these are fabulous Poppies ! I love the way you have arranged them and I love the colors you chose, the deep pink one with the Seed Pod Center is gorgeous, the shape of the petals as well as the texture is perfect! The pink one in a different stage of life with its green casing is so very well created , the three buds are well placed in your scene and beautifully created, each poppy and bud stands out from the pastel tones in the background and this comes together in a most excellent way. I wish I had a six to award this, it's definitely worthy! This really impresses me , I admire your work so very much! Very well presented!
