Another great American painter was O’Keefe. I loved doing this drawing because she resembles my grandmother. The irish influence. Her life is the stuff of art fantasy. Discovered young. Then instant success in New York City but the fantasy part was her moving to New Mexico and living in the midst of incredible beauty in her own adobe studio under the stars. The environment became her work and she morphed back into the environment. Plus, the environment had a cool name, Ghost Ranch. Lastly, she did the thing I really desire. She developed an outfit to wear each day. A look. Most days I wear my blue zip up coveralls, but it pales in comparison to her groovy outfit.
