When is one more poppy ‘one too many’? NEVER!!!

Am I addicted to painting poppies?  Hmmm…”Addiction: giving one’s self up to some strong habit usually in the passive voice…”  Well I don’t think so!!  Nothing passive about painting with these colors!!  Although I am forced to admit that there are some addictive qualities to painting poppies…the color, the texture, the contrast and energy…it keeps me coming back… to the theme…to the subject…  I can’t seem to stay away for long.  Is that an addiction? An itch that needs scratching?  Oh, what the hell…its just really fun to muck around with reds and oranges and turquoise and get the colors under my fingernails and in my hair!!!
