There is a poppy coming up in the front garden! With rain, even more will begin to show up in the hills and fields, along with lupines and other wildflowers. The quintessential California wildflower – delicate, lovely, bright.
I did this as a quick sketch this morning to test out a package of 5o pre-cut 6×9 cotton papers from Bee. So far, the paper is pretty nice.

Love the California Poppies!
Have you ever been to the California Poppy Reserve? Time well spent – hillsides are covered with poppies, lupines, and other flowers.
Yes, I have, it is a beautiful place.
