Amapolas by Edward Julius Detmold
What a beautiful painting we have for the February ABS Monthly Challenge!! The title is Spanish for Poppies. I love the rhythm and patterns in this painting; the sense that there is a warm breeze blowing and that the earth is fully awake and in bloom. And the colors: I believe I will never forget these shades of red. Inspired by Detmold's luscious poppies, I picked out a grouping of art beads for you to look at, enjoy and be creative with.

Thanks so much Tari!!! Lots of beautiful art beads out there right now!!
Gorgeous inspiration and beads!
Beautiful picks. Found a couple of new artists and shops.
Two Sisters Design is one of my favourite artisans. I've been lucky enough to visit their shop in Carmel several times. The other artists have beautiful beads too.
Thanks, Mary. you've picked some gorgeous beads inspired by this month's art challenge. I love them all. Wish I was independently wealthy!!
