poppies

This painting is by Georgia O'Keefe and it's called 'Poppy'. It was done in 1928 and is an oil on canvas. This photo is one of my favorites because of the colors she used. Although they are all extremely similar she used contrasting colors in ways that make the flowers pop, hence the name and flower type. Not only is this flower extremely pretty but I love the way she has zoomed in on the flowers. She allows the viewer to see the poppy as if we were a creature in nature.
