Impressionistic Floral Oil Painting of Poppies

This is an original oil painting on canvas, depicting a vibrant field of poppies in an impressionistic style. The composition features a variety of flowers in white, pink, orange, and red tones, set against a lush green background with hints of yellow and soft sky-blue at the top. The brushwork is expressive and textured, a technique known as impasto, particularly visible in the thick application of white paint on the central flower petals. The piece is housed in a substantial, dark-toned wood frame with ornate carved details along the inner and outer borders, typical of mid-to-late 20th-century decorative art. The color palette is bright and cheerful, utilizing high-contrast tones to make the white poppies stand out as the focal point. While a signature appears to be present in the bottom right corner, it is obscured by the lighting and shadow in the provided image. The overall condition looks good, with no obvious signs of cracking (craquelure) or paint loss, though there is a subtle patina on the frame consistent with an age of approximately 30-50 years. The craftsmanship suggests a skilled hand, likely a commercial or regional artist active in the 1970s or 1980s, specializing in traditional floral still-life subjects.
