Spring Break

Red Canna by Georgia O’Keeffe, 1923, University of Arizonia Art Museum.

Everyone has many associations with a flower – the idea of flowers. Still-in a way – nobody sees a flower – really – it is so small – we haven’ t the time…So I said to myself – I’ll paint what I see – what the flower looks like to me but I’ll paint it big and they will be surprised into taking time to look at it. – Georgia O’Keeffe,

Georgia O’Keeffe, Viking, 1973.
