We had a heatwave in Ireland a few weeks back. 5 days of temperatures above 25 degrees celsius. That might not seem like much to Europeans, but Irish people find it difficult to cope with the heat. I'm generally able to cope up to 35 degrees. But still, I ended up sketching the poppyseed heads in our backgarden, over and over. I've cleared them now, and kept the seeds, so we will have even more poppies next year!!
One aspect of sketching these that I really enjoyed was the rustling sound they made in the breeze. Most of our neighbours were away, and it was very quiet. All I could hear was the rustling of the dry leaves and maybe the seeds gently rolling in their pods?
