Santa Fe: Georgia O'Keeffe Museum

One of the celebrated artist of Santa Fe is Georgia O'Keeffe who moved to Ghost Ranch and later her Abiquiu home about 65 miles north of the city.  This is also a museum but I did not have the opportunity to visit.  O'Keeffe lived from 1887 to 1986.  She lived in New York and was later married to Alfred Stieglitz, a noted photographer.  She first visited New Mexico in 1930 and began painting skull-and-bones, flowers and the landscape of the area.  She lived part time at Ghost Ranch beginning in 1934 and then moved into her Abiquiu home in 1949 after the death of her husband.

Here are my photos of some of her paintings:

"Green Lines and Pink," 1919

Photo from the window of O'Keeffe's studio that she created from a renovated stable and buggy house on the edge of her property in Abiquiu,  She divided the space of the bedroom and studio from the rest of the home and installed a 16 foot picture window in the north wall where she painted under a sky light.
