Poppy Field: Melted Crayon Painting


This one was much harder for me and it did not turn out like I was expecting. Crayons are funny, and it takes some getting to know which ones are transparent and which are opaque. I need more white so will have to order a box of them. There is only one in each box so it is quite limiting. Anyway, I think I am addicted. Could it be the smell of melting wax? Smile.

Wow this is so beautiful. It looks like a big ol' storm is brewing and going to come blow the blossoms off all the poppies. I would love to see it in real life, as I see wonderful detail in this picture of a picture!

Love it!

Elaine, if I was able to do a fraction of what you do, I wouldn't have had to switch from Art to Psychology as a major :)

Did you use to eat crayons when you were a little girl? Maybe that explains enjoying the odor!
