Purple Poppies — Claude Monet Postcard

Three mauve poppy heads open above a tangle of jagged, deep-green foliage, set in a cream vase flecked with small dabs of color — Monet at the easel rather than in the garden, attentive to one bouquet against a warm ochre ground. The painter's loose, layered brushwork reads as plant first, still-life second: stems sway, leaves catch and release light, petals stay soft. A composed card for someone who collects flower studies, for a friend you write to in a quieter month, or for a thank-you that wants weight without ceremony.
