Poppies on the Railing | 12" x 12"

About the Artwork

Poppies on the Railing is an acrylic canvas-board painting by Glen Semple. This little gem is a stunning acrylic on canvas painting by Glen Semple that captures the vibrant beauty of poppies in full bloom. The composition features a clear glass jar placed on a rustic wooden railing, filled with a bouquet of poppies in various shades of red, pink, and white. The flowers are painted with such lifelike detail that they seem to pop off the canvas, their delicate petals almost tangible. The interplay of light across the jar and the stems within the water adds to the painting's realism, making it feel as though you could reach out and touch the cool surface of the glass. In the background, a soft blur hints at a garden bathed in sunlight, with dark greens and purples providing a serene contrast to the bright, cheerful colours of the poppies. The wooden railing, worn with age, offers a textural element that grounds the composition, adding a sense of place and time. Small details, like the scattered seeds on the railing, invite the viewer to linger and discover the nuances within the scene.

Glen Semple utilizes acrylic paints, which dry quickly, allowing him to layer colours and create rich textures and details that make each flower stand out. He achieves a lifelike quality in the petals and leaves by applying the paint in thin, controlled layers. The glass jar is painted with such precision that the reflections and distortions in the water are clearly visible, making it look genuine. The clarity of the glass, the gentle fold of the petals, and the subtle reflections within the water all demonstrate Semple's skill in transforming the acrylic medium into a window to his world.
