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.
The Kiss by Gustav Klimt.
The most famous artist of the Art Nouveau period is Klimt who sense of decoration and design made his artwork rich and complicated. The two figures seem to emerge from the field of gold, flowers and shapes.
I went last year to see the Grand Canyon in person and it does live up to the hype. There were a lot of people in the park and lines of cars to enter but once you got down to the edge of it and looked out without being able to see where it ends, nature suddenly got very large and civilization sudden got very small.

After seeing the Soleri show at MOCA Scottsdale, we went over to Cosanti in Paradise Valley, AZ to buy a couple of bells for ourselves.
