La Dolce Vita - Diptych picasso Red poppies speak of love

Red poppies speak of love

so the waves and water were exaggerated in their isolation with the slight offset of colour from the abstract blossom

lazily swimming away in the water

The sky has iridescent powder sprinkled over the dripped paint which in glitters like fairy dust adding depth and a magical quality to the artwork like a gossamer layer or morning dew

but a life also blessed with huge privilege

La Dolce Vita - Diptych picasso Red poppies speak of loveLa Dolce Vita, oil and enamel on canvas, 200 x 120 x 2 cm on two panels each measuring 100 x 120 x 2 cm (Diptych) La Dolce Vita, The Sweet Life. Summer sun warms my skin, the flowers on the hillside sway in a summer breeze. I hold your hand. We walk together through the beauty and the wild. You and me. My inspiration for this beautiful wild landscape is a walk on a hillside holding hands with my love. It reminds me of all that is beautiful and sweet
