This painting shows a simple clay pot with bright red poppies spilling over the sides. The pot is rough and cracked, painted in earthy yellows and browns. The flowers stick out in sharp red against the dark background. The pot looks old and worn, like it’s been used for years. The way the light hits the flowers makes them stand out even more. If you like this, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow.
