Poppy Slope 13 x 16 (Poppies on Mount Diablo)

Poppy Slope 13 x 16. Painted  plein air this spring on Mount Diablo. The poppies usually fight  for space with the grass. This year, the grass burned out early and the poppies were on a matrix of golds and pink instead of green. I enjoyed the softer colors around them.
