flowers


Artist: Georgia O'Keefe
This is a painting of many different flowers and in the middle is I believe a tulip that she was famous for painting. She painted flowers because it was exciting and wonderfully alive. In this painting it represents many different flowers and shapes. Some of which are up close and some are farther away. I picked this painting because i thought the representation of color in this specific painting is a noticeable feature. Some of the colors are more subtle and others are more vibrant which brings out the feeling of liveliness that she was trying to represent. I think this picture is very beautiful and the she blends all the colors together well with light blues in the middle and rich red and green on the borders.

  1. Maggie, i don't think this is actually an O'Keefe- it looks to me like a collage of her work made by someone else. can you check it out/
