Fine Art Paper
Matilija Twirl

"An endlessly twirling skirt of crepe-like petals topped with a golden crown greets visitors of the dry climates of the Southwest."

The Matilija Poppy thrives in the dry, sunny climates of Southern California and Baja Mexico. The blossom can be up to 9" wide with a crepey white 'skirt' and a glowing ball of golden stamens. Although the petals are white, I have always been fascinated by their resemblance to the colorfully twirling skirts of the Mexican Dancers of Baile Folklorico. Since the blossoms on each plant are prolific, it is easy to imagine the stage filled with these bridal-like performers as they spin across the desert floor. ~tch

What's your style? Fine art papers are best shown with large mats, museum-style, with simple frames, no matter which size you choose. Black is for sophistication and unity, color is for fun. Do what works best with your style. Or, wanna be adventurous? Go with a frame that jazzes up your decor: Boho, antiqued, gilded modern, or rustic are some ideas. Remember to have fun with your choice. This is for you, not anyone else, so no fear allowed!
