March is Women's History Month - Georgia O'Keeffe

Born in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, Georgia O'Keeffe was a painter known for her unique, individualistic style. Her work is evoking the sense of the subject of the painting -- and somehow both realistic and abstract.
Georgia O'Keeffe painted both New England -- including New York -- and the Southwest. Her paintings of flowers and bones are perhaps the most recognizable of her images.
Georgia O'Keeffe (Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists) by Mike Venezia is a great picture book to share. This is part of a series of books that include artisits Calder, Cezanne, DaVinci, Degas, Van Gogh, and many, many others.  Check them out. In the meantime, enjoy some of O'Keefe's most famous works at her museum.....................

  1. you know, I always want to like O'Keefe's work because she is quite amazing, but honestly, truth be told, I'm just not into her style. Oh well, I still respect her and that's what counts, right?! Thanks for your comments over on my blog today- it's never a "soapbox" I love hearing your additions :)
