“Tall Poppy Celebration (study)” original painting

Description

I had some leftover red paint the other day + this scrap of watercolor paper, so this painting of happy poppies was simply inevitable.

I also learned the term “Tall Poppy Syndrome” recently— which essentially is a phenomenon of people being cut down by others when they’ve achieved “too much” success or acclaim-—that I think is, well, poppycock, and have wanted to speak against ever since 🙂

So, here is “Tall Poppy Celebration,” a tribute to my experience of people supporting people’s success (and being INSPIRED by it!) always always leading to more success across the board.
