Oriental Poppies by Georgia O'Keeffe

Two poppies fill the frame, petals unfurled. Georgia O’Keeffe’s *Oriental Poppies* blooms without stem or leaf, as if the flowers exist only for their own radiance. Crimson centers bleed into orange, then soften to pale coral at the edges. Black stamens trace jagged paths across the petals. The colors press against each other, no outlines, no shadows—just light spilling across silk. Hang it where morning sun can catch the paper, above a sideboard or beside a narrow hallway. The flowers won’t wilt.
