Notmassproduced- never a print, never photoshopped, always direct on the surface of the original. I just erased about four hours of work from yesterday and need to begin again on one - more distressed than it was before.
Absolutely beautiful, and so resonant of WW1 and the legions of women who never got to marry or have families because... there were no men left of their generation. Buds that never flowered. And the thousands of widows, of course.
It reminds me of a line from Neutral Milk Hotel that goes, "And it's so sad to see the world agree That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes."

translucent poppy petals -- that's charming! She hides behind them with grace.
LOVE.
I'm not sure which way those buds are heading next! Haha.
ohhh I like it too, big hugh Kathrin
Gorgeous. I'm a huge fan of poppies of all sorts. Really very clever.
the poppy echoes the shape of her hair..I like that we can see her and not see her
The "Flower head" people are most interesting for sure.
i love this one. especially the edges.
is it a print or a painting? whatever it is a brilliant alterification! x
Jude- selvage and salvage come to mind.

I like what Titus said about WWI widows. It made me think of a woman's life blossoming into its own, obscuring her former self.
Oh this one is lovely, I like how the hair gives an echo or shadow of the black heart....
Lollipoppy.
Oooh! GASP! This is incredibly wonderful! Your lovely poppy fills my eyes, which is the greatest compliment I can give.
Wow!
wonderful color contrasts in this. I also love poppies. we don't have them in N.H.
this is lovely, perfect "use" (sorry can't think of a better word) of that lovely translucence
and the seed-head and stamens, just like a masque-mask
perfect
This is just luminous, Susan! And it matches my mood today perfectly ... have missed 'seeing' you! Happy Day to you!
I think it´s great too.

FanTASTic! My jaw just dropped.
It's eye popping and yet a bit coy and mysterious!

All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes."
it is a very beautiful piece.
Thanks, J. I don't know though...one man's/woman's white roses are another's flies.
