“Not Orange, Not Gold”  is a captivating watercolour painting that transports viewers into a delicate world of blooming Iceland poppies. The artwork beautifully captures the extraordinary essence of these enchanting flowers, showcasing their wonderfully curly and vibrant petals that seem to dance with color. Each brushstroke brings the petals to life, exhibiting a spectrum of hues that tantalize the eye—an ode to nature’s artistry and an embodiment of inspiration.

The floral composition is not merely a depiction; it is a celebration of the poppies’ unique colors, evoking the evocative words of John Steinbeck: “These too are of a burning colour, not orange, not gold, but if pure gold were liquid and could raise a cream, that golden cream might be like the colour of the poppies.” This quote perfectly encapsulates the essence and allure of the painting, as the delicate opulence of the flowers transcends simple categorization, inviting viewers to experience the richness and depth of their colors.
