Florence Johnson "Poppies on Yupo Paper" at the Joyful Jewel 7-30-13

"Poppies on Yupo Paper"
Florence Johnson
10" x 10" watercolor & ink, framed original
$25

          The painting of brilliant red poppies is created with a new technique for Florence Johnson.  She described the process of watercolor on yupo paper's slick surface, and how it gives the painting a  dreamy look.  The colors run just a little bit blurring the edges to soften the overall image.  Certainly the colors are just as vivid as ever.  I think that the composition of these flouncy, extroverted poppies shows off Florence's flair as much as the flowers themselves. It's a happy painting with lots of movement and a sense of joy.                              ~ Mariah
