Title: Poppies

Picture

  Yuppo is a Japanese paper used in the advertising arena, and unlike the

on the top of the paper and depending how you manipulate the
paint, will depend on the outcome. This is an experimental piece
and I was happy with the finished result - a soft, loose rendition
of my maternal grandmothers delicate and colorful poppies.
