I wanted to see if I would like it if I mixed elements from my drawings with my paintings. I love it. It's unlike any other Defiance textile I have designed. So for the garland, let's go chronologically! The oldest part of the garland are the sunflowers and the Lilies coming from a mural I painted with two other artists in 2002. It was a pair of urns with floral arrangements in a wine cellar for one of my interior design clients. Fast forward ten years to 2012; I was asked to participate in a group show of women artists in LA and opted to do drawings. The graphite elements in the garland come from those two pieces. Here we are now in 2026 - the rest of the elements are from a painting I did this summer. That would include the poppy for which the piece is named. \"In Flanders Fields\" is a wartime poem from World War I. This is the origin of the poppy as a symbol honoring fallen military. Here, but especially in the UK, small paper poppies are worn to honor the dead. I had it in my head that I wanted to paint the poppy over Memorial Day this year as a meditation and symbol of gratitude. I finished the piece in its entirety in June of this year. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-npj\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA spacious and trendy tote bag to help you carry around everything that matters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• 100% polyester\u003cbr\u003e• Bag size: 15″ × 15″ (39 × 39 cm)\u003cbr\u003e• Capacity: 2.6 US gal (10 l)\u003cbr\u003e• Maximum weight limit: 44lbs (20 kg)\u003cbr\u003e• Dual handles made from 100% natural cotton bull denim\u003cbr\u003e• Handle length: 26″ (67 cm), width 1″ (2.5 cm)\u003cbr\u003e• The handles can slightly differ depending on the fulfillment location\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you.
