I've always admired Georgia O'Keefe. Not only for her large flower paintings but as a woman she crossed all lines in both her art and personal life. I have a book .. Georgia O'Keefe Art and Letters. (1987) One of the letters she wrote to a dear friend said in part "I don't see why we ever think of what others think of what we do-no matter who they are-isn't it enough to just express ourselves ?" There is a film coming up this month (TV) and I'll be sure to catch it. Although I've painted and posted many a poppy, (my banner on this blog) neither of these are poppies and both were done years ago. September 3, 2009
A Tribute To Georgia O'Keefe

ReplyDeleteI saw Georgia O'Keefe museum in Santa Fe many years ago and I still remember the awe that I experienced seeing some of her art.
The movie is Sept 19 on Lifetime. Thanks to ya'll for the encouraging comments.

ReplyDeletePaintings and other artwork always come out best when we do what our heart tells us.

I love these florals, Barbara. You have beautifully captured the shapes, the soft colors, and the structure in a wonderful design. Georgia would be proud of you.
ReplyDeleteI love her work and just had the pleasure last Friday of going to San Francisco with a friend to view a show on Georgia O'Keefe and Ansel Adams, friends who used similar subject matter in different mediums.
