SERIES FEATURE: poppies

I sing the Poppy! The frail snowy weed! The flower of Mercy! that within its heart Doth keep "a drop serene" for human need, A drowsy balm for every bitter smart. For happy hours the Rose will idly blow-- The Poppy hath a charm for pain and woe.  - Mary A Barr

So true! I paint poppies to help get me through these long, dark northern winters.  Poppies are happy and vibrant and can't help but make one think of bright days and sunshine.
