The tone and feeling I want to convey with this image is “foreboding.” I wanted the bone white dead tree to be a graphic element for contrast, and the red poppies to offer some color variety. This image shifted quite a bit from my initial sketches. The journey of every art piece is different. Sometimes the image may not be clear at the earliest stage, and in that case, It’s good to retain some flexibility to experiment and explore options while in the painting phase.
