Went to a local prairie remnant and saw a few poppies there where the entrance had been reseeded. I've never seen poppies there before, so I think they were introduced in the wildflower mix. Painted my photo in Corel Painter.

Striking image Jerry -- reminiscent of huge Georgina O'Keefe flowers

Nice soft rendition- I like the glowing center.Pretty contrast with the greens. The stem maybe looks not quite attached?

Very nicely done. The color combinations are striking as is the central portion of the flower.

Great colors! I love the contrast between the green and orange. My preference would be just slightly smaller in the frame.
