This minimalist painting is inspired by a field of poppies. The grid is created with charcoal I made from poppies grown in my garden (papaver somniferum). Beneath the grid are shades of white and nearly white oil paint. Over the grid I painted geometric colors inspired by poppies. The shapes and colors suggest blossoms, leaves, seeds and poppy heads. This is a large minimalist poppy field. The oil primed linen is gallery wrapped around heavy duty stretcher bars and is ready to hang.

Meet the Creator
Wescover creator since 2020
Oil paint is a partner in my artistic process.

I am a California based artist. I paint landscapes and cityscapes inspired by the world around me. I also am inspired by travel to faraway places and times. Vintage photos and travel-related images often provide inspiration for my paintings. These paintings combine figurative and imaginary elements. I also like to explore pattern and will sometimes make large paintings exploring the variations of a single pattern.

My oil paintings are built up with several layers and I often paint wet into wet. This requires a balance between improvisation and intention. The transparency between layers creates vibration and uncertainty.

I also create charcoal from unique materials such as money, food, documents and plants. These materials have meanings that I can integrate into a drawing or painting. I have developed methods for applying these unconventional charcoals to surfaces. Sometimes I use found objects as templates. Often these relate to the meaning of a piece. These pieces are unique and rich in exploration.
