Mother of Pearl Poppy
Sir Cedric Morris was a 20th-century British artist who not only painted an array of portraits and still-lifes but also practiced horticultural artistry, breeding new varieties of irises and poppies. For this poppy, he wanted to create a pastel palette of dusty pinks, muted purples, and blushed whites, all with a shell-like luster. The overall impression of a field of these poppies is that of an artist’s palette, one on which the colors have been gently but unthoroughly mixed before being applied to the canvas.
Contains a range of colors including white, pink, maroon, and red.
