This watercolor shows a vase of bright red poppies against a plain white wall. The flowers pop against the empty background, almost like they’re under a spotlight. Soft edges blend petals into air with no hard lines. Michou loved flowers. He painted them often, but never in detail—just bold colors and loose shapes. This one feels alive, like it might wiggle in the breeze. Try his other flower paintings. Look up Michou, Sotirios (1936-2010).
