Symbol of remembrance and hope for the future: the poppy

Poppies have always had a strong meaning of hope and remembrance throughout history. Their pistil is filled with seed, known to cause feelings of drowsiness. Because of that, many cultures associated poppies with sleep and peacefulness, or even death and remembering their loved ones.

The bright red gradient on each petal symbolizes courage and fierceness, and it is a pleasure for every artist to capture its fragile essence on their canvas using some acrylic or oil.

If you are trying to paint these fierce flowers, all you need is red paint full of pigment, and you will be able to create amazing artwork.

California's iconic attraction: red poppies fields in Bloom

Everyone in California must see a field of poppies at least once. The area is famous for its large, iconic poppy fields, which have attracted many painters throughout the years, looking to represent their beauty in their artwork. Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve is a great example of such a place. Once springtime comes, the valley turns into heavenlike scenery, full of red, bright flowers and life.

Seeing all these flowers in full Bloom makes for incredible scenery, and the strong perfume attracts any butterfly or insect. All the movement of insects flying around and flowers swaying in the wind creates the impression of a lively landscape full of warmth and hope.
