Measuring 120 x 80 x 2 cm, this striking composition captures a young girl mid-jump with a skipping rope, set against a vivid field of blooming red poppies. The dramatic sunset sky, with its layered hues of orange and pink, contrasts beautifully with the cool blue of the mid-ground and the warmth of the flower-strewn foreground. Db Waterman’s meticulous layering of materials—acrylic, oil, pencil, and collage—creates a rich tapestry of textures and colors. The monochromatic rendering of the girl juxtaposed with the bold vibrancy of the flowers underscores the transient beauty of childhood memories, while the dynamic sky evokes a sense of wonder and nostalgia. The use of layered textures lends depth to the piece, allowing viewers to lose themselves in its dreamlike ambiance. Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or gallery spaces, "Poppies" is a captivating celebration of joy and nature that adds warmth, charm, and an uplifting narrative to any setting.
