Portrait of Georgia O’Keeffe. Oil on Canvas / American Artist. Georgia O’Keeffe was raised in Wisconsin, educated in Chicago and Virginia, taught, painted, and lived on the east coast until her early sixties when she moved to Abiquiu, & Santa Fe, New Mexico. Close to one hundred when she died in 1986, living alone and painting in scenery that inspired her famous flowers in closeup with strong sexuality, voluptuous lilies and poppies, stark desert landscapes and animal skeletons. She worked in charcoal, water color, and finally oils, and worked large. I’m not sure her story is known well outside the states. She was photographed, courted, and married (1924) by famed 1920’s photographer Alfred Stieglitz who adored her, left his wife and family for her, and made her more famous than he was. She too, was madly in love with him. His black and white photographs of O’Keeffe filled Stieglitz’s famed “291” gallery in New York and caused a sensation with portraits focused on her beautiful bone structure and striking looks, and spectacular nudity. He took over 300 portraits of her from 1918 to 1937. Stieglitz may have been in love, but smart enough of a businessman to cause O’Keeffe’s work to skyrocket in price, averaging $100,000 a painting, monumental for a living artist and a woman in that time. What he did for her career lasted, interest waned some but revived and her work is priceless now. Every girl painter can use a Stieglitz, few get one. Stieglitz died in 1946 and she moved permanently to New Mexico three years later after cataloguing his work and papers. She was 59, began a new life in a landscape she claimed as her own. “God said I may have that mountain,” she’d written, “if I paint it enough.” So she did. / I painted this from one of Alfred Stieglitz’s famous photographs of Georgia O’Keeffe. / When you do portraits, you start to hear conversations from that time, get a sense of the thinking of the subject, smells and impressions wander through you or assault you inescapably. It’s a fascinating and somewhat dangerous occupation because when you put down the brush and turn away you wonder where the hell you’ve been and question your sanity. I’ve come to accept it as just what happens and there it is. One cannot help but see Stieglitz’s fascination with O’Keeffe’s profound physical symmetry. It bothered me. I thought it annoyed Georgia, too, that he was making more of it than in truth was there. Certainly a thoughtfully bright, introspective & solid woman. But he did not capture the O’Keeffe who stood in the desert in thunderstorms alone in the middle of the night to draw the electricity in the air into her being, which she was notorious for doing. Or the O’Keeffe who lived alone on her Ghost Ranch, and drove in her Model A Ford recklessly to plateaus and mountains of New Mexico to soak in the wilderness. DH Lawrence, Ansel Adams, the Lindberghs were visitors. / It’s not the last portrait I’ll do of her, but I wanted to see more in her than Stieglitz’s precision, no matter how beautiful that is to see. / I think he was incredibly kind and thoughtful about this woman’s life, and helped her reach a financial independence undreamt of for an artist of her time and sex. Stieglitz said of the first drawings of Georgia O’Keeffe that he saw: “Finally, a woman on paper!” He admired her, and he loved her. I can’t blame him for thinking her perfect. I’m just not so sure he saw the savage in Georgia. Other US photographers who did some earlier radical work in b/w, nature, and nudes you might want to visit: Ansel Adams. Brett, Edward, and Cole Weston. Edna St Vincent Millay wrote: “My candle burns at both ends; / It will not last the night; / But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends— / It gives a lovely light!” / Which, published in 1918 became an anthem to end constraints on overwatched Victorian girls. A wild, free life… edged with death. / The Hawks Perch

Photograph as is no editing at all . / / I waited until almost midnight to photgraph this, they only flower at night opening fully around midnight, by morning they are just a limp reminder of their beauty, I forgot to move the pot plant [large so it is rather heavy ,to a light source during the day] so I had to stumble about in the dark, I did have a torch a distance away as we have many spiders to get tangled in to the webs. I had to keep it away incase it interfeered with the photo. Now I have no idea about technical talk but readin the info on properties light source flash and auto ;lens ap.3.00 metering mode patterned;lens focus auto; exp auto. Camera Panasonic Lumix DMC F27

I smell the salt and redwood trees / Mixed gently by the coastal breeze / A natural scent that guarantees / To always place my mind at ease / / On coastal meadows flowers bloom / And sway in breeze like nature’s broom / While all about the bees do zoom / So much for my eyes to consume / / The vast Pacific adds more still / As backdrop to this flowered hill / Across this landscape colors spill / To give my heart and soul a thrill / / The redwoods stand behind me tall / To touch the sky with mighty sprawl / Not even violent ocean squall / Can make these giants bend or fall / / All this in place named Santa Cruz / Where nature paints with all known hues / To leave behind such scenic views / To treat our eyes, and soul infuse / / This fractal artwork was inspired by the Santa Cruz area of California. Santa Cruz lies at the northernmost point of the famous Monterey Bay. I lived in this area for awhile about thirty years ago, and the beauty of this place remains vibrant in my mind. There is a wonderful biodiversity of animal and plant life on both the land and within the sea along this coast, that is unique to any other place I have been. / / I lived in an old Airstream trailer on some beautiful land here, right where the meadow met the forest. Just to the east of the trailer a thick, redwood rain forest began, and to the west were the gently sloping meadows that ran to the sea. This artwork shows the view across that coastal meadow, with all the wildflowers in bloom. I think one of the reasons it has remained so strong in my mind is you don’t usually encounter a flowered meadow with the Pacific ocean as the backdrop, with both the smell of the forest and the salty air of the sea mingled together. / / This was artwork created in Incendia. This was my first artwork with the new version (1.2) of Incendia that was just released this week. The fractal is exactly as it was rendered. The only post-processing was to crop it just a hair to bring it to a more common printing size. The original artwork is 3000×3000 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. The details are difficult to see over the internet, so I have included a few detail cutaways to give you a better idea of the overall detail of the artwork. The cutaways are at 50% of the original size. / / / / / / / /

This ground squirrel was sitting in a bed of flowers on the coast near Morro Bay. Used to having people around he was not at all intimidated by me getting close to take his picture. / /

Spent the weekend along the beautiful Snoma Coast. It rained almost the entire time so those sunsets I was hoping for did not happen. Did get some opportunity for fog shots though. This field was next to a house my daughter was staying in just acrss the road from the ocean.
