MIXED MEDIA MONDAY - Poppies

POPPIES
Acrylic Collage on canvas panel - 9x12

I had so much fun with this mixed media painting. I used acrylic paints for the poppies and some of the background and then collaged on decorative paper for added pattern. I used a dimensional paint for the black lines around the flowers and rectangles for a bold look. I have been painting with watercolors for so many years that it was great to step outside of my comfort zone.
I painted this piece on a 9x12 canvas panel so that it can be displayed as is on an easel or will fit into a standard 9x12 frame.
