Artist's Notes on Poppies
My teaching trips
to Italy have been in mid June each year for the last 4 years.
It's been incredible, but mostly the poppies are almost gone by the time
we arrive.
But one year ...
one glorious year...
It rained steadily for 3 weeks just before we got
there. By the time we arrived at the Contessa's Farm there
were blue skies and
vibrant red poppies everywhere!
