Flanders Fields - Poppies by Moonlight.
Resin coated 30cm x 45cm artist board.

Inspired by the poem Flanders Fields and as tribute because after the First World War, the poppy was adopted as a symbol of Remembrance.

Flanders Fields by Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
