Description
One of the most delightful aspects of creating this painting for me was the wonderful conversation I had with photographer Christopher Springmann when I contacted him to ask for permission to use his photograph of Georgia O'Keeffe as inspiration for a painting that I had wanted to do for a long time. Mr. Springmann had spent time with Georgia in 1974 and is the author of many classic photographs of this great artist. In speaking with him and hearing his first hand stories of Georgia, I felt as if I had gone back in time and had an opportunity to visit with her myself. Ghost Ranch in New Mexico, where Georgia had a home and studio, has been my painting vacation destination each year for many years. I can feel her creative spirit in the hills and canyons, and I hope some of it will rub off on me! If you look carefully, you can see her dog.

A fantastic concept, Anne! Can't wait to look through all of them. I live in a very old house and often imagine the lives of those who came before and wonder if we'll meet someday - somewhere in time... LF

Oh, I love your comment! I think exactly the same thing, and the concept is the seed that inspired my "vanishing" images. Thank you!

I've seen a lot of paintings of Ghost Ranch. Most have good intentions, but don't come close to expressing the feeling of the place. You have NAILED it!!!!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!! l/f/p

I gather you, too, have spent time in this magical place, Marsha, and I appreciate your insightful comment.
