I recently read "The Forest of Vanishing Stars" by Kristin Harmel. 
An historical fiction set during WWII when Germany was invading Poland sending thousands of Jews into the forest for two years to hide from persecution.  The book is inspired by incredible true stories of survival against staggering odds.  The book led me to research Poland and I discovered red poppies are the national flower of Poland.  I love the color Alizarin Crimson and to paint poppies allows me to emerse my palette in red!
