Description
Close up macro image of a beautiful Red Poppy Papaver rhoeas in a spring garden meadow, Northampton, Massachusetts, taken in the late spring. Other common names for this popular wildflower are Corn Poppy, Flanders Poppy, and Shirley Poppy. A portion of all profits from sales of this image will be donated to the Wounded Warriors Project as explained in detail below.
In addition to selling fine art prints, I license images to various publishers and companies, including licensing travel photos such as this one for magazine articles, travel guides and other books, wall and engagement calendars This image was just licensed to appear as the June image in a 2016 Motivational Wall Calendar. It is also currently (October-November 2015) hanging in a show at the Martin Stankiewitz Gallery in Tarrytown, New York.
Red poppies are a symbol in both the US and the UK in honor of those who fell in the line of duty since World War I, often sported on Armistice Day aka Veterans Day (US) and Remembrance Day (UK), November 11th, for the armistice that ended World War I on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. The poppy symbol comes from the John McCrae poem In Flanders Fields. Thus, while this image is a beautiful reminder of spring and summer appropriate for any decor, it is also a special tribute to veterans. Accordingly, each November, I will donate a portion of all profits from sales of prints of this image made throughout the year, to the Wounded Warriors Project.
