But I am SO VERY HAPPY to introduce her to you! <BR/><BR/>There are many many books written on this modern art painter who painted flowers as people and bones as living organisms. Her paintings are alive and rich with color. <BR/><BR/>If you have not heard of O'Keeffe, I'm sure you would not have heard of Alfred Stieglitz, the American photographer and promoter of modern art? <BR/><BR/>Stieglitz especially promoted the work of O'Keeffe. Please check them both out. I began reading about them many years ago. I have a wonderful book of letters by O'Keeffe. Great stuff!<BR/><BR/>Barbara McClintock, scientist and Nobel Laureate in Medicine? She's another creative woman with a razor-sharp intellect, another most beautiful woman--indeed.Judith Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593319882150923231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7209091428880958270.post-45021587448747389902009-02-28T09:56:00.000-05:002009-02-28T09:56:00.000-05:00I had not heard of Georgia O'Keeffe.

Georgia O'Keeffe had such a rich life that I really sought to capture the essence of her after having read a number of biographies and letters some years ago. <BR/><BR/>It was always her talent that was impressive, but equally so was her independent streak in a time that found many women timid. She has said that she was afraid every day of her life, but moved in spite of her fear. It's funny that the safety that we long for and embrace often inhibits us from experiencing that which we most seek, satisfaction and security, that of living life large in spite of trepidation. There is peace there too. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes we think that people such as O’Keeffe are impervious to everyday emotions. But I have come to know through reading and through having known a few very talent people, in not only the arts but in business and government too, that they most certainly experience what we all do. The difference is how they move through them, all differently but the commonality is that they move. Thanks again, Linda.Judith Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593319882150923231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7209091428880958270.post-36440336337069058732009-02-22T22:09:00.000-05:002009-02-22T22:09:00.000-05:00What a wonderful lovely post that leaves me feelin...What a wonderful lovely post that leaves me feeling as if I now know the inner O'Keeffe...just a bit<BR/><BR/>You have such class and a talent with presentation Judith.
