In the afternoon, we visited the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. O'Keeffe is best know for her paintings of very large flowers. She spent many years coming to New Mexico to paint starting in 1929. In 1949, three years after her husband, Alfred Stieglitz, died she moved from New York City to New Mexico to live. She painted approximately 3,000 paintings in her life and many of them reflect the landscape of the Southwest. The museum has many fine examples of her work. Unfortunately, you cannot take pictures in the museum, so we cannot show you an example of her work.
