Jeep Trail

Jeep Trail, 9x12, oil on panel, L. Daniel © 2012, SOLD

Another view of my friend's ranch... this dirt, jeep trail leads down to the banks of the Llano River. In the distance and in all directions is the rolling hill country. That day the meadow was full of wild, white poppies - a beautiful sight and a most magical place! 

Poppies, Poppies...

Poppies, Poppies, 12 x 12

Poppies really are seductive - they kind of captivate the unwitting passersby. These red ones at the botanical garden today reminded of that scene from the Wizard of Oz where Dorothy Gale is lulled into a deep sleep in a poppy field. In my head I kept hearing that cackle, "I'll get you, my pretty!" That used to scare me so much! :)
