Dried seed pods and cases remind me that autumn is just around the corner.

    Superb paintings! I have always thought that poppy seed pods look odd compared to other seed pods. My grandmother loved to tie and hang flowers on the back porch to dry. She loved all types of flowers and used dried flower arrangements in winter. These seed pods remind me of her.
