Erika said, Paint me a picture.Last fall, I saw a show of Georgia O'Keefe's early abstract paintings at the Whitney Museum in New York. This spring, by coincidence, I caught the show again in Washington D.C. at the Philips Collection. It was then that I realized how great O'Keefe's early abstracts are.
Erika had actually said, Paint me a picture in the style of O'Keefe (Erika is in a Writer's Workshop in Iowa and gives assignments.) I had said, No way.
When she got this painting, she said, oh yeah, like Klimt. Yes, the face appeared first, and everything else was secondary.
This lady is now on a wall in Iowa.
