One flower that made my mom really happy is the poppy. She wanted to paint a poppy painting for me and didn't get a chance. Before she died, she did buy me a print of a painting of a poppy. Hence my poppy painting obsession. Last summer, I took many photos of poppies and enjoyed them in my garden that also inspired me to paint so many of them. I like painting poppies in water colour and in acrylic and trying different techniques. This has been a fun creative project. I am excited as spring has sprung and the flowers will start to bloom to give me more inspiration. 5 by 7 - Poppies- water colour painting in black frame $30 Poppy Water colour painting  in black frame 5 by 7  $30 Poppy  Acrylic on canvas 4 by 4  $30 with an easel Acrylic painting on canvas-  12 by 7  $50 Acrylic Poppy on canvas 5 by 7 $30 Poppy  Acrylic on wood with resin can sit on shelf or hang 3.5 by 4 inches $20 Poppy  Water colour on wood with resin large -13 by 3  inches $...

 Living on the Sunshine Coast is such a blessing. I am so fortunate to get to walk my dog Cooper and enjoy all the beauty surrounding us. Cliff Gilker in the fall is such an amazing place to spend time. The leaves, the light the trees, the waterfalls are so magical, a fairy land to play in. Another favourite spot is Davis Bay with the sand, birds, logs and clouds.  If you are lucky you will see some whales or kite surfers gliding along the shore. Never a dull day that is for sure. Sechelt has a variety of beauty with forest walks and ocean shores. I am never at a loss of where next to explore. The tug boats are entertainment as they carry logs or gravel or other types of materials. Our coast is a spendor with eagles over head and seals bobbing along the in the wavey shore line. I hope you too are enjoying some beauty on our coast. There is truly some much to give thanks for.
