"Legal Poppies", 9x12, oil on canvas-$69, by Maryanne Jacobsen"Dress these flowers of fire. They do not grow
In the woods, but in the fields of wheat, or rather
They grow the same in barren soil.
IN the modest and simple garden of the gatekeeper.
They tremble when a train passes,
And trembling, die like those ardent of heart."- Francis Jammes
Jammes was a French poet and his poems are known for their lyricism and for singing the pleasures of a humble country life .
The poppy belongs to the opium family, but its effects are supposedly less powerful. It remains the symbol of sleep and oblivion to sorrow;however, the Greeks associate Morpheus, the god of sleep and dreams, with wreaths made of the red flowers.
This painting was done from the leftover paint on my palette after I completed yesterday's painting of the Portland Lighthouse. It has thick impasto throughout as it was done completely with a palette knife, and I have priced it to sell since it was a quick study.
