For the past few weeks, I've been reading A Biography of Georgia O'Keeffe - Portrait of an Artist by Laurie Lisle. I've always loved O'Keeffe's bold yet sensitive art. It's been interesting to get a glimpse of her personal life albeit through the story of others.
She was definitely an artist I would've liked to have met.
I visited the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe about 10 years ago. Seeing her original paintings and Stieglitz's photographs were quite an experience.
I love her 1917 Nude Series watercolors and her 1926/27 large flowers oils. Two of my favorites, the White Rose and the Oriental Poppies.
In 2010, Santa Fe will be celebrating 400 years - great place to visit. Plan ahead!
