Channeling Georgia O'Keeffe (Part 2: Flowers)
Yesterday I posted about how much subconscious inspiration I have taken from Georgia O'Keeffe in my artwork, and I shared images reflecting our shared love of bones and shells. O'Keeffe is also well-known for her flowers, and I have a few flower photographs in her style.
Here are two of my favorite O'Keeffe flower paintings for comparison:
I love everything about your third photo: the colors, the composition, and the white background. Lovely! Georgia O'Keeffe has long been a favorite. Sarah spent two summers at The Ghost Ranch where O'Keeffe lived during part of each year, and we got to visit her home and the museum in Santa Fe when we were there.
ReplyDeleteI love picture two, the close crop and beautiful soft colours.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was flower ones we saw at the exhibition.
ReplyDeletewhat lovely photos
I like the flower ones - but then I love flowers :) I think your class sounds interesting and am enjoying seeing your results.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I think the first two pics have a really strong O'Keefe feel to them.
ReplyDeleteWow! Channelling really works!
ReplyDeleteGreat macro shots. Do you like Tamara Lempiska, too? I love her flowers.
