“Four Little Poppies” sounds like the title of a book I loved as a kid called “Five Little Peppers (and How They Grew). It’s sort of a given that a California artist would paint California poppies.

This little 4×4” oil painting of poppies needed something more, so I added blue.

It wasn’t enough, so I added 3 more paintings.

Now there are three four little poppy oil paintings, each 4×4″. They are $30/each (plus tax, welcome to California, leave your dollars here). All four together can be had for $100 (plus tax, see the previous snide remark.) One sold over the weekend, and I can’t remember which it was! Never mind. All sold. I can paint more if you wanted them but hesitated. 

Did you know that California is called “The Golden State” because of the poppies on the hillsides? That might be a myth. The hills turn golden in the summer when the grasses dry up from the abundance of sunshine (and lack of water.), so perhaps that is the reason for the descriptive title.
