Red Poppies Molly Lamb Bobak 1977 (via @canadianpaintings.bsky.social)

Loose watercolor painting of a cluster of red, coral, and orange poppies rising from a bouquet of green stems against a pale gray-white background. The poppies have translucent, uneven petals with darker red and burgundy centers and blotches, and some show small dark pistils. Thin, wiry stems and dark green buds are scattered among the blooms, and a few flowers rise high above the rest on long stalks. The lower half is filled with sage and olive-green foliage that bleeds into drips and splatters running toward the bottom edge. In the lower right corner is a handwritten signature that appears to read "Molly Lamb."
