"I found that I could say things with colour and shapes that I couldn’t say in any other way things that I had no words for."
Georgia O’Keeffe
If I remember rightly, there were more than a few years that I lived with an O'Keeffe painting on my wall in monthly calendars. I may still have a few of my favorite paintings stashed away, thinking I would frame them. But walking through her museum was a very heady experience, and I didn't take photos of ALL of the works on display.
I'm sorry to not have her bio here. Please check out Wikipedia for details.

ReplyDeleteI am a fan of Georgia O'Keefe, I love her art work. Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful art.
ReplyDeleteLush. Her work is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteBarbara, We've always like O'Keeffe's work. You could almost feel her presence when we visited Taos and Santa Fe a few years back. She lived a long life, from 1887 until 1986. She was 98. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
