Day 4 #pleinairpril✨💐✨
I gotta touch grass more often, aka practice more on flowers and environments not used to making them🥲Brushes I used are watercolor for the background and a chalky brush for this one. Anyways I hope you enjoy my #poppies #art Challenge hosted by @warriorpainters.bsky.social
Three California poppies, unopened. It was chilly so they hadn’t opened yet. With sunshine & grass, some water drops.
Sleeping Poppies!

"My chest drummed, and at the top of a sweetgrass hill speckled with orange-gold California poppies, I danced like a little kid, adrenaline rushing."

Close up of six yellow flowers with orange centers. Only two are in focus, and third is somewhat blurry, and the rest are very blurry to the point of being unrecognizable. The flowers have crinkly, fragile yellow petals with orange stamen that are like lots of short fingers. A single orange stigma. The background is very blurry olive green. San Luis Obispo, California

a close-up of a light blue lupine blossom, with a large hairy beetle clinging to its side while chewing on it, and hiding in the shade of the plant, the two pieces together forming a perfect circular shape, like a yin yang
a close-up of another large furry beetle, barely caught on a plant but all legs splayed out looking like he's flying through the air making a giant dive; rusty red abdomen, black rest of his body, and nice sheen reflecting the surrounding sunlight
a bloom of some plant whose identity I read about while there but don't presently recall, but was ONLY there: large air-filled pods in a vaguely pepper shape, a bit of fuzz on them, and skin colored a mottled patchwork of red & yellow
a close-up of a poppy blossom, with violent orange petals, and its interior detail looking very "Opium": yellow pistils, an enticing green center, from which grows a fuzzy white ball; one single strand of spiderweb reaches from center to end, and some tiny bug has alit on the center
as we start to tip toward spring, I'm actually getting close to wrapping up all my old pre-PNW California highlights for #ThrowbackThursday ! but a few seasonally-appropriate #Bloomscrolling things, thes from Tule Elk Reserve in CA, April 2023

🌼 Just over one year ago, this land in Altadena was devastated by the #California #wildfires.
Rene Amy, who owned the property, decided to plant #poppies on the land as a sign of hope. Now, the flowers bloom across 700 empty lots thanks to his efforts.

Two brilliantly orange Iceland poppies (Papaver nudicaule) fill this close-up photograph, their tangerine blooms burning with warm red undertones that deepen toward each petal’s base and fan outward in darker veined streaks, lending the flowers a touch of luminosity. At the heart of each bloom, a dense cluster of stamens glows in saturated golden-yellow, a vibrant centre that contrasts vividly against the surrounding heat of the petals. The petals themselves carry the characteristic tissue-paper delicacy of Iceland poppies: finely crinkled, slightly ruffled at the edges, and very thin. Fine golden pollen dusts the lower petals of the foreground flower, adding a tactile, powdery intimacy, while the slender, bristle-haired stems, a signature trait of Papaver nudicaule, are clearly visible rising from a base of finely lobed, ferny green foliage. The foreground bloom fills the frame in rich detail while a second flower recedes into soft focus behind it, creating depth and drawing the eye back again and again to the beautiful interplay of fiery orange and molten gold.
Good morning and happy #Stunday everyone!
