Faringdon Folly Poppies

This acrylic painting captures the vibrant scene of poppies in bloom at Faringdon Folly, a well-known landmark nestled on Folly Hill in Oxfordshire. Built in 1935 by Lord Berners, Faringdon Folly is an eccentric 100-foot tower with Gothic-inspired architecture, standing as the last major folly to be constructed in England. The structure’s unique silhouette against the sky provides a striking backdrop for the bright poppies in the foreground, offering a blend of nature and architectural curiosity. The piece reflects a moment in the English countryside where wildflowers and whimsical heritage meet, celebrating a distinctive slice of local history.
