Orange Poppies

Caroline de Rothschild's "Orange Poppies" is a striking figurative composition that celebrates colour and movement. This mixed media oil painting presents a vibrant arrangement of orange blooms in an ornamental vase, positioned upon a luminous yellow tablecloth. The artist enriches the composition with delicate doves and butterflies, introducing narrative depth and a sense of ethereal grace. The masterful handling of pigment creates a dynamic interplay of warm tones, whilst the inclusion of symbolic fauna elevates the work beyond still life into a more contemplative realm. The painting exemplifies contemporary figurative practice through its bold chromatic choices and layered visual storytelling.
