Peace and Poppies

Peace and Poppies is a 12 × 12” original watercolor on premium paper — a poppy arrangement painted in the soft, translucent palette that watercolor brings to delicate flowers, where the thin, papery petals read as something between color and light. Molly Frantzen painted the composition in her Maine studio with an openness that matches the flower itself: poppies don’t hold still, and neither does this painting’s energy, which moves from dense pigment at the centers to near-transparency at the petal edges. There’s an ease to it that took real skill to achieve — the mark of a watercolorist who knows when to stop. Available as an original or as a giclee print on premium paper; both ship flat and frame easily. Each original is one-of-a-kind.
