Painting Description
Rendered in nature’s serene palette, this small painting brings delicate botanical detail into focus.
Soft, sculptural forms of dried poppy pods rise from a field of muted color—cool sky blues and warm yellow-greens delicately mingle behind them, enhancing their quiet strength and organic grace. The pods, rendered in rich oil tones and gentle brushwork, appear almost suspended in stillness. Their weathered textures and natural symmetry suggest both resilience and rest, like nature caught in a whisper.

Artist Comments
‘Poppy Pods’ is a painting that came from my appreciation for the beauty in natural design. The seed pods of the opium poppy caught my eye—not in full bloom, but after, when the vibrancy fades and what’s left behind becomes sculptural, almost ornamental. Their rounded forms, ridged caps, and muted palette spoke to me in a way that was gentle but persistent. I wanted to honor their quiet beauty, to frame them in a way that invites viewers to pause and appreciate what often goes unnoticed.
There’s something soothing about their shape—simple yet elegant—and I felt compelled to explore that with a brush and canvas. It’s part of my ongoing journey to celebrate the small and the subtle, the fragments of the natural world that don’t clamor for attention but still deserve it.
—Teresa Bernard, oil painter

Your Feedback
“Very pretty! Funny story…..I had a few poppies with beautiful flowers growing in my backyard when 1 day, my next door neighbor comes knocking on my door wanting the poppy pods. I obliged.” — @HepflDesigns, TRUTH Social
“I appreciate the gentle blue that you made for the background. The poppies are interesting shapes, it’s not difficult to understand why a painter, yourself, chose this subject. A good painting for people to show in a room where they relax, the colors are all easy on the eyes.” — @JosephChristian33, Gab
