Field of Poppies, by Karen J. Lee

"Field of Poppies, a Post-Impressionist work by artist Karen J. Lee, captures the beauty and depth of emotion in this piece. In looking at a cross section of her work, the painting style and techniques have far-reaching aesthetic impact. Historically, Post-Impressionists influenced groups that arose during the turn of the twentieth century, as well as more contemporary movements. The vibrant use of contrasting colors in her paintings of flowers is her signature work. The poppy painting, with the brilliant red blooms against the bright green of the fields, cause each other to shine brilliantly with this use of complementary colors. 'In my travels I have seen these poppy fields, and they are most memorable. In painting this piece, I wanted to capture the vibrancy of the contrasts, and the captivating presence of these flowers with sparkling personality,' noted the artist." -K.J.L.
