Orange Poppy

It’s just turned springtime in the southern hemisphere. I noticed the orange poppies in bloom for the first time earlier this week.

This is a water-soluble colored pencil painting of such a flower that I photographed in 2021. I completed the artwork in the next year.

If it looks a little strange to you, it’s because the flower is drawn as seen from beneath. It is almost like the view a small animal underneath the plant would have of it.

I’m not a children’s book author, but a story is beginning to form in my head about this scene.

What does this image prompt you to think about?

#Asimov: The Fortress and the Castle

Then something happened. While the stone in Asimov's hand continued transforming into a robot and before he could show Peter his second trick, Asimov noticed something going on in the background that alerted him. He turned around and also Peter saw it when he zoomed out on his pad viewer. The large buildings in the background that stood on either side of the crater rim started to move. ...

#Kamina2: Potatos, Tricks and Prisons

Two tall guys grabbed Kamina and carried her downstairs again into a rather dark and dirty deck. They opened a metal door to the brig and threw her in. How rude. But as a last gift, Kamina could scratch the seaman's arm with her pointed fingernails. Served him right. ...

#Asimov: How to Make Robots

In the following days, Peter thought a lot about the robots on Flora. How did that work? Were they alive or just toys and devices? He didn't even understand the difference. On the next day, he met Asimov and asked him. ...

#Kamina2: Sir Tesla

Kamina took a look outside the porthole of the cabin and saw that the peer became smaller and smaller every second. They had been lifting off. They were flying. She looked around and saw the gigantic dragonfly wings moving up and down fast. But they almost didn't make any noise. There was just the shaking and the groaning of the wood. ...

#TheGuillorys: Seraphine

Good morning, my name is Seraphine Guillory. I'd like to talk about my family and things. At the moment, I'm so annoyed by my brothers. I have eleven siblings, most of them are nice. Fleur for example is so cool. Some of them are still babies. But Louis and Remy are pranking the others all the time. Troublemakers, that's what they are. ...

Peter couldn't think of anything else than the Asteroid Flora. He sat together with his parents at the dinner table, but he wasn't even hungry. His mother asked a question and he didn't even notice. He couldn't wait to get back and start the app. Luckily, his mother sent him to his room. ...

#Asimov: The Stranger

Peter listened to their neighbour for another while. He remembered that his father said that some baby phones were also using radio signals. But the sound was very noisy. So he turned the knob again until he heard a loud, jarring feep on channel 14. He panicked again a bit, but he found the knob to turn the volume down. ...

Peter was hesitant as he approached the radio device. It was his guilty conscience speaking, but there also was a little devil sitting on his other shoulder, curiosity. So he turned on the old chrome switch on the left. ...

#Asimov: Peter and the Garage

New storyline ... trying some child fiction.

About a month ago Peter turned eleven. It was an amazing day. He got a lot of tech gadgets. That was his passion these days. The coolest present was from his father, a digital pad where he could learn programming. He practices with it ever since. He even could plug in a little Lego robot and remote control it. ...
