California Poppies
About this artwork
Created in early spring when poppies are in full bloom, artist Marilyn Froggatt displays a striking still life of the delicate flower. The petals gleam a vibrant orange while the leaves appear soft and feathery like a fern. Their appeal as the California state flower is also significant for those that love living in the area, says Marilyn. This beautiful wildflower only blooms in certain areas and can create quite a sensation when they blanket entire hillsides in its vibrant shade.
