Original artwork description:

Poppies are the quintessential summer flowers, their bright red heads bobbing in the wind among long grasses or stalks of wheat. Such was the scene when I set up my easel to paint "Summer in the Valley" in a lovely meadow above Innsbruck. Being in Tyrol, these poppies have an amazing backdrop provided by the North chain of the Karwendel alps. I was inspired by the remains of snow in the crags on the mountain tops contrasted against the summery scene in the valley below- the starkness of the bare grey rocks agains the fertile abundance and bright colours in the foreground. It was this contrast that I wanted to capture in my painting.
