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

The Flat Earth Society / “The facts are simple,” says Charles K. Johnson, president of the International Flat Earth Research Society. “The earth is flat.” He believes that the main purpose of the space program is to prop up a dying myth—the myth that the earth is a globe. “Nobody knows anything about the true shape of the world,” he contends. The sun and moon, in the Johnson version, are only about 32 miles in diameter. They circle above the earth in the vicinity of the equator, and their apparent rising and setting are tricks of perspective, like railroad tracks that appear to meet in the distance. The moon shines by its own light and is not eclipsed by the earth. Rather, lunar eclipses are caused by an unseen dark body occasionally passing in front of the moon. Johnson’s beliefs are firmly grounded in the Bible.

Sunrise over Fes, Morocco. Adhan (Athaan) is the Islamic call to prayer, recited by the muezzin. The root of the word is ʼḏn “to permit”, and another derivative of this word is uḏun, meaning “ear.” This is the minaret of Kairouyine mosque in Fes. The university which is attached, was founded in 859AD and ‘is considered the oldest continuously operating institution of higher learning in the world by the Guinness Book of World Records.’ (Care of Wikipedia) / Adhan I

Made in UF 5 Bayside – Winter / / When winter falls next year, / I’ll be holding on to anything nailed down. / As for being patient, / With fate and all it’s getting old. / And my mind is slowly changing. I’m calling all my oldest friends, / Saying sorry for this mess we’re in. / And I’m waiting, waiting, / For the sun to come and melt this snow, / Wash away the pain and give me back control, control. An angel got his wings and we’ll hold our heads up, / Knowing that he’s fine. / We’d all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime. Should we still set his plate? / Should we still save his chair? / Should we still buy him gifts? / And if we don’t did we not care? It makes you think about the life you’ve led, / The shit you’ve done, the things you’ve said, / And its grounding, grounding. / I’ve been feeling 3 feet tall this month, hardly indestructible, / But the snow melts and the rhythm still goes on. An angel got his wings and we’ll hold our heads up, / Knowing that he’s fine. / We’d all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime. Friends stay side by side. / In life and death you’ve always stole my heart. / You’ll always mean so much to me it’s hard to believe this. These nights in vans, / These nights in bars, / Don’t mean a thing with empty hearts. / With empty hearts. An angel got his wings and we’ll hold our heads up, / Knowing that he’s fine. / We’d all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime. Friends stay side by side. / In life and death you always stole my heart. / You’ve always meant so much to me it’s hard to believe. / So much to me it’s hard to believe. / So much to me it’s hard to believe this. / /

152 views on 12/01/09 This painting is acrylic on gallery wrapped stretched canvas. It is 11” w x 14” h. Kokopelli was one of the earliest spirit figures represented in the petroglyphs and cave art of the very early Native Americans - the very first Americans. He was believed to bring success with crops and also to bring good luck with the ladies. He was usually depicted playing a flute and was considered to be the patron of music. He is often depicted with a hump on his back - sometimes this is considered to be a deformity and sometimes a sack that he carries on his back.

This is another Apo fractal I made and added the pearls post-processing for effect. I used the Dahli Gardens Script by Bunny Clarke to make this one I believe. The gradient I custom made and is in my Gradient Pack 9 / /

Made in UF5 This is my entry for the Simply Julia Challenge hosted by Fractal Perceptions: I think this piece gives the viewer the feeling of freedom or lightheartedness. It gives the feeling of flying away together….flying free. /
