“Although the desert bones of New Mexico initially sparked O’Keeffe’s imagination, the region’s majestic landscape, with its unusual geological formations, vivid colors, clarity of light, and exotic vegetation, held her attention for more than four decades. Often, she painted the rocks, cliffs, and mountains in dramatic close-up, just as she had done with her flower subjects.”

Note: My new blog and photo art schedule and beautiful morning photos are Monday through Friday, off Saturday, and half-day on Sunday (all morning). See you Monday morning. Saturday will be a day of silence, meditation, and rest. My grandparents would be amazed and delighted if they knew I was honoring a Sabbath, even if it wasn’t about religion. I never did it while they knew me and loved me.

 

Thanks sun.

Flowers are heart machines, really…

 

Peering into the heart of things.

 

Light is everything when it comes to taking pictures of flowers.
