Sir Cedric Morris was a 20th-century British artist who not only painted an array of portraits and still-lifes but also practiced horticultural artistry, breeding new varieties of irises and poppies. For this poppy, he wanted to create a pastel palette of dusty pinks, muted purples, and blushed whites, all with a shell-like luster. The overall impression of a field of these poppies is that of an artist's palette, one on which the colors have been gently but unthoroughly mixed before being applied to the canvas.
Contains a range of colors including white, pink, maroon, and red.

About the artist
Artwork by Jean Bradbury. For our Mother of Pearl Poppy pack, artist Jean Bradbury has created one of her trademark "dreamscapes." A cosmic array of pink and mauve blooms float through a surreal evening ether with a contrasting shock of poppy red.
