“I found that I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say in any other way — things that I had no words for.”
“I have things in my head that are not like what anyone taught me — shapes and ideas so near to me, so natural to my way of being and thinking.”
Take care and keep laughing!

I like O’Keefe’s art, but I like her persona better.

I confess I feel the same, Adrienne. In fact, I prefer the photograph of her to the art I’ve included!

🙂 Is that an Alfred Steiglitz photo of her? It looks like it. They made some beautiful photography with her as his muse!

It is indeed. I knew I’d forgotten something and that was to add his name! Click through and you’ll get the Wikipedia page it’s on.

I always thought I loved their love story until I read that Alfred cheated on his first wife and left for O’Keefe, then cheated on her too. I don’t like those sorts of love stories after all.

Nice one, sarah! After many visits to Santa Fe I finally made it up the o’Keeffe museum and the ‘famous’ church she painted. Anne
