At the Museum after OKeefe

I have loved Georgia Okeefe’s paintings since I was very young. It was a joy to visit her iconic painting with the cow skull and to use it as the inspiration for this painting. 

Even though the skull in art is a reminder of our mortality, OKeefe paints it with the sensual beauty of a flower.

In a year when my husband passed away, I was drawn to this particular piece for inspiration.  I would enjoy being in the gorgeous OKeefe mission Santa Fe with one of our cows in tow.
