In 1928, Georgia O’Keeffe returned to her home state of Wisconsin for a few months. During this trip, the artist revisited the barns she had known in her youth.
O’Keeffe described the barns as "wonderful—not what is ordinarily called picturesque—They just seem alive all the way through."

During the early 1920s, O'Keeffe spent many autumn months in Lake George, New York, painting the vibrant trees of the Adirondack mountains. This maple tree was a particularly favorite subject of O’Keeffe’s.

What does this painting remind you of?
In the 1970s, Georgia O’Keeffe found herself drawn back to spirals. This watercolor echoes the forms seen in her early abstract drawings, likely referencing the shape of her violin head.

In 1939, O’Keeffe traveled to Hawai’i after accepting a commission to paint pineapple plants for the Hawaiian Pineapple Company (later Dole).
This trip proved immensely inspiring for O’Keeffe, who returned home with numerous paintings, including this one of a belladonna.

Georgia O’Keeffe often took "motor outings," as she called them, packing her gear in her Ford and camping for several days.

In her paintings of the New Mexico landscape, Georgia O’Keeffe recorded the brilliant colors of the high desert as she saw them. O’Keeffe spent hours, sometimes days, exploring the land by foot and automobile, looking for her next subject—red mountains, yellow cliffs, or purple hills.

Georgia O’Keeffe regularly experimented with abstraction and representation, finding different ways to paint or sketch the same subject. “It is surprising to me to see how many people separate the objective from the abstract,” she said. To O’Keeffe, “objectivity” and “abstraction” were intertwined.

After she began her annual sojourns to New Mexico, the sky figured increasingly in Georgia O’Keeffe’s work. O’Keeffe described this painting as " just the arms of two red hills reaching out to the sky holding it."
