The Remember Poppy
Day Art By Teresa Scannella
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
This beautiful Poppy Fields painting by Teresa
Scannella is partly responsible for the
'Remember Poppy Day' song, which is why it is so
appropriate to have it as the featured artwork
for the CD and video. |
|
|
The CD Art and Teresa's
Poppy Fields painting
are available as Greeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

Teresa is one of the artists featured on Chris
Grace's Surrey Artists website. Chris had been
watching recent television documentaries about
the bravery of people involved in the wars and
when he saw Teresa's painting. It made him think
far more deeply about Remembrance Day than he
had for a long time. Chris said 'it made me feel
guilty that I rarely remember to stop for the 2
minutes silence because society has changed so
much' |
|
This led to the poem and subsequently the single
which we hope will gently encourage people to
take two minutes of their lives on Armistice Day
or Remembrance Sunday, to remember the
sacrifices of those who have fought or died in
the wars. |
|
|
|
Teresa's art is now available as prints, posters and greetings
cards, with 50% of profits going to Alzheimer's
Society. Here's the link to

This will be a matter of great pride for Teresa,
since it was with a view to raising funds for
The Altzheimers Society that she started
painting. The above art titled 'Pyrford Poppy
Fields' and the painting below of Bluebell Woods
are two of her works which she has undertaken
for this cause. |
|
The Alzheimer's Society works to improve the
quality of life of people affected by dementia
in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. |
|
|
Many of the 25,000 Alzheimer's Society members
have personal experience of dementia, as carers,
health professionals or people with dementia
themselves, and their experiences help to inform
our work. |

| “I looked at the website and after
listening to the song and seeing the photos I was filled with
such emotion that I am still crying now as I write this email. |
| You have done an incredible job
putting this together and I really do feel privileged to be part
of it. I wish everyone huge success.” |
