Wild Poppies at the Beach
Whitepark Bay on Northern Ireland’s Causeway Coast is one of my favorite places in the world. The white sand beach is stunning and you have panoramic views of the beach as you’re walking down to it. There’s large sand dunes behind the beach with bunnies roaming around and in the summer the most beautiful magenta wild poppies. It always amazes me where you find pops of color and seeing the deep pink flowers so tall and proud amongst the dunes was really special. It’s a place I hope to revisit every year.
I did a wash of pink on the canvas first to act as a warm backdrop to the whole painting. I kept the sky really loose and just a wash to allow the pink to come through and kept everything else really soft to help the poppies pop!
