Irish Thought for November 15...

Irish-American Artist

Georgia O'Keeffe

Receiving widespread recognition in her lifetime, Georgia O'Keeffe challenged the boundaries of modern American art and was celebrated for her technical skills.  She was known for her vibrantly colored paintings, including many large-scale works in which a flower was enlarged to overflow the canvas then abstracted to essential shapes.  With strong Southwestern influences, O'Keeffe's other famous subjects included adobe buildings and farmhouses, desert panoramas, and cow skulls.
