My adult art students and I are happy to donate our time and expenses for the six months it took to produce the mural.
I assigned each artist a space and a painting from the Old Masters, such as Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Cezanne etc., to be converted to fit the mural so it can form a poppy from Georgia O’Keefe collection. It was a complicated venture and I would love to see funds arriving to donate to the Veterans.
Also, I welcome anyone to come visit the gallery and see the mural in person. It is stunning and very engaging. Please come visit the gallery/art school in Sidney.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1604536080266{padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”787″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”xtd-shadow–small-light” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”right-to-left” el_class=”xtd-offset-frame” curly_max_width=”500px”][vc_column_text]

Who Created the Poppy Project?
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The Poppy Project was envisioned by Odette Laroche, and completed with the help of her students. All of the contributing artists were assigned a certain number of paintings, with the accompanying colour palette. The intention behind each painting was to stay within the teachings of the old masters, and to recreate some of their styles while constrained within the guidelines.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1604536148772{padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”776″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”xtd-shadow–small-light” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”right-to-left” el_class=”xtd-offset-frame” curly_max_width=”500px”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” gap=”35″ css=”.vc_custom_1604536198097{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1604507866573{padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”787″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”xtd-shadow–small-light” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”left-to-right” el_class=”xtd-offset-frame” curly_max_width=”500px”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1604507872007{padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;}”][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-paint-brush” color=”custom” size=”lg” align=”center” custom_color=”#b89d4f”][vc_column_text]
What is the Poppy Project?
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The entire composition contains 30 separate paintings by 10 different painters. The project was on display at my art gallery in Sidney, and we’re currently searching for a sponsor to display the composition.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” gap=”35″ css=”.vc_custom_1604536207210{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1604507877214{padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;}”][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-money” color=”custom” size=”lg” align=”center” custom_color=”#b89d4f”][vc_column_text]
