I bought this planter at the local nursery, North Haven Gardens, and had to paint it. It has tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and crocuses. It is spring in a pot!

"Poppies in the Valley of Elah" by Ann McCann 16 X 12" Watercolor
This is a painting I did after a visit to a poppy field in the biblical Valley of Elah, where David is said to have slain Goliath. This visit to Israel was before Covid and has since been mown down. We were so disappointed to find it gone this year, mown down for commercial reasons probably. This painting is for sale at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas.
