Slow Art Sunday - O’Keeffe

Georgia O’Keeffe once said, “to see takes time”.  Today, on Slow Art Sunday, take some time to get to know her lovely flower paintings (first two images) and other earlier works.  O’Keeffe was born in Wisconsin, lived and studied in New York but ultimately enjoyed New Mexico the most, spending the majority of her life in this desert location painting images of the Southwest.

Currently showing at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City is an exhibition of O’Keefee’s works on paper (last 3 images) using pencil and charcoal.

Like making a good meal, or building a relationship with a new friend, seeing all there is to see in an artwork, takes time.  Give yourself a few minutes today to enjoy the details.
