An acrylic painting for #Remembrance.

An acrylic painting of two poppies. A red one on the left, and a purple one on the right. A subtle green foliage backdrop makes the poppies stand out.

Art along from @jamesbbarrow.bsky.social this past week's prompt was Awakening Spectacle. Used only fabric scraps. Photo reference from a friend.
Three pictures: a photo of a bee sleeping atop a pink flower, with a red spiky center, another picture of scraps of fabric, the largest picture is fabric representation of the bee photo: dark and light pink petals, green polka dot stem, bee with translucent wing, the background is green floral. The words/phrases: Sleepy Bee, KeonaChick, Awakening Spectacle, are in the lower left corner.

Want to learn how I paint flowers like this?
Join me live on my Twitch page in an hour and a half (2pm BST) when I’ll be hosting an hour long paint along session!
It’ll be like a Bob Ross episode, only with smaller subject matter and probably more chaotic instruction!

For those who love seeing flowers glow in the setting sun.
I saw this Iceberg rose glowing in golden hour and could not resist painting its visage!

An acrylic painting of a bright white rose. It is glowing, with half of it illuminated from behind by the light of the setting sun. The other is lit by the cool ambient light of the sky. It stands out starkly against a backdrop of dark leaves and stems.

I changed the way I work a couple of months ago to follow this advice, it made a big difference and my productivity went up by miles.
