The next time we're down here, I'd love to drive up to Abiqui and Ghost Ranch, where O'Keeffe lived and painted, but for this trip we settled for a visit to the Museum here in Santa Fe. Apparently, much of her well known flower paintings are in private and public collections elsewhere, so the the emphasis here is on her landscapes and on her collaborations (right now, there's a neat exhibit showcasing paintings by her and photos by Ansel Adams of Hawaii).
I came not particularly familiar with her work other than a general awareness of her floral paintings. I left captivated by her paintings of the Ghost Ranch landscape. All the more reason to visit there someday.
