These poppies were growing wild and proud, right at the edge of a field I walk often. I love how unapologetic they are—vivid, untamed, impossible to ignore. Wild and True felt like a bold one to paint, with all that colour and movement, but it came easily. I think that’s what I love about poppies—they show up, fully themselves, and don’t shrink back. This one’s for the wild ones and the moments we dare to take up space.
