"Red Poppies in Provence",14x11, oil on board- $350

This is one of those paintings that fell together without much effort. No preliminary sketch, no intense thought behind it, just lots of vibrant color and fun! Loved painting it, and since it fell together rather quickly I have priced it well under my normal pricing structure to sell quickly. The photo does not do justice to the painting as the impasto and brush strokes cannot be seen.

Lots of lovely color and pieces of impasto in this one! Take your very own trip to Provence within this painting for a fraction of the price! To see some of my other paintings of the Provence region, simply type the words, Provence, Luberon, St. PAul de Vence or lavender into the search box located at the top of the left hand column at my home page.

"Legal Poppies" by Maryanne Jacobsen

"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.
