‘Red Poppy’ – Shirley Polley

Vibrant and expressive, Red Poppy combines the fine detail of coloured pencil with the fluidity of watercolour to create a striking botanical study. The rich scarlet petals bloom with a sense of softness and movement, while the deep black and golden centre adds contrast and depth. The textured strokes of watercolour bring an organic, natural feel, enhancing the poppy’s delicate yet bold presence. A piece that radiates warmth, remembrance, and quiet strength.
