{"product_id":"poppies","title":"Poppies","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is a kind of knowledge that lives only in the hands of a mother.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy mother taught my sister and me to make little dolls from poppy flowers — a game that required patience, a careful hand, and the particular expertise of knowing which buds were just about to open, because those made the very best dolls. We spent whole afternoons crouched in the garden, searching through the grass at ground level, the world reduced to stems and petals and the extraordinary architecture of a flower seen from below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis painting was made in the depths of winter, in a freezing studio, from the warmth of that memory. It is poppies as a child sees them — close, luminous, filling the entire field of vision. Four or five open blooms among the buds, with soft purple flowers moving through the composition like a half-remembered dream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo paint it was to be warm again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrylic on canvas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W: 76.2cm x H: 76.2cm (30 x 30 in)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal work.
