Oh Grace, now THAT is a face to respect, is it not? Look at that lifetime of knowledge & experience stored in her face! She was so fearless on some levels…followed her heart and bucked the system and was muse to Stieglitz. Have you seen his photograph of her hands? (can send you the link if you wish)Deanna, I have that stamp, too….somewhere…an artisan had turned it into a pin, which I wore on a black beret for a couple of years. Gads, havent thought of that in a couple decades! it was a red poppy, I think.

gilly, there was (is) a movie of her life on Life Time I believe, any way one can order the video from amazon if they are interested. She was one very creative person and felt a need to create not just a desire.

in 1996, there was a 32¢ stamp issued with one of okeefes huge red flowers with the black center. i enlarged it and decoupaged it on a tile and it sits on a bookshelf.

Grace I was so pleased to see Georgia over your desk. When I think of you in NM I think you must be fond of her too. We went to Abiquiu last winter to her house. I love seeing where she painted and her inspirations. LOVE her hollyhocks, so glad you have some. So nice to know you are there..

Great photo… bought a book the other day, with photos of her in old age, and paintings – didn´t open it yet, quite like its presence, just the cover, as it is for a while…
