just above the computer screen, webbed
to the little lamp, actually, a web
on her eyebrow
O'keeffe
she monitors my earnestness

Who is she? .....and I hope to do 'whispering' too. Gilly
Georgia O'Keeffe
American artist...you can google
her. i was not so much enamored
of her painting as i was of her
devotion to looking closely and
loooooong and her love of the
New Mexican landscape. She was
also a very interesting woman.
yes. i hope we all continue to
work together in judes teachings
funny that, she's now appeared twice in 24 hours. an omen perhaps?
Kaite...if anybody could, it
would be her, cruising around,
checking things out.
i have generational hollyhocks
here that came from seeds i
"lifted" from her garden at
Ghost Ranch.
in 1996, there was a 32¢ stamp issued with one of o'keefe's huge red flowers with the black center. i enlarged it and decoupaged it on a tile and it sits on a bookshelf.
gilly, there was (is) a movie of her life on Life Time I believe, any way one can order the video from amazon if they are interested. She was one very creative person and felt a need to create not just a desire.
my dad gave me a giant book of her work, years ago, what a great keeper.
is it that one that has her flower paintings in it? my late husband gave that to me for christmas one year...it is a treasure!
A great person to face each morning.
Lots of seeing in that face-still seeing.
she lived i think to 98yrs. i
don't imagine myself that long,
nor would want to be. but i
think of her in the end days,
unable to see well enough to
paint. so she began potting.
sitting at the wheel like she
had sat at the easel. instead
of seeing with her eyes, she saw
with her hands.
maybe this is where the weaving
will come in for real. touch...
Hey Helen thanks Ihave just read up about it and I 'll try the library. Also Grace - I used a YouTube on Meinrad for Uni. the other day - so thank you! I could watch it a hundred times over.
Deanna, I saved one of those stamps too. Made it in to a magnet, it's on my fridge right now.
Wonderful source of inspiration Grace....
Oh Grace, now THAT is a face to respect, is it not? Look at that lifetime of knowledge & experience stored in her face! She was so fearless on some levels...followed her heart and bucked the system and was muse to Stieglitz. Have you seen his photograph of her hands? (can send you the link if you wish)
Deanna, I have that stamp, too....somewhere...an artisan had turned it into a pin, which I wore on a black beret for a couple of years. Gads, haven't thought of that in a couple decades! it was a red poppy, I think.
I see a smile inside her looking...
Grace I was so pleased to see Georgia over your desk. When I think of you in NM I think you must be fond of her too. We went to Abiquiu last winter to her house. I love seeing where she painted and her inspirations. LOVE her hollyhocks, so glad you have some. So nice to know you are there..
Christi..yes. her hands. so
many of the photographs Stieglitz
made of her, his preoccupation with
her. But she never gave any of
herself away. saved herself for
her art. actually, i think, saved
herself for the joy of Seeing.
i think her art for her was
secondary to the Seeing.
Great photo... bought a book the other day, with photos of her in old age, and paintings - didn´t open it yet, quite like its presence, just the cover, as it is for a while...
Such a great woman and artist.
I admire her as i do Louise Bourgois. For a moment i thought it was her.
XXXm
Heike..i understand completely.
to just anticipate opening is
enough...
Martine~...i wonder if they ever
met? if anyone knows the answer
to that, please share.....
i can't say for sure but i would guess not... i have never read anything about their meeting and i have read a fair amount on them both as they are my two of my favorite artists.
nance...hmmmm. but in thinking
about it, i wonder if they would
have talked about their meeting,
if they had.
i am going to think of them
together now....like, sitting
in a very large empty room
am going to make it adobe. they
will be watching a spider
LOL....
'i am going to think of them

grace, you have a magnificent imagination...
and their common language will be art..
