I’m glad you showed a picture of her kitchen. She was also a wonderful cook. Her assistant/companion compiled her recipes in “A Painter’s Kitchen: Recipes from the Kitchen of Georgia O’Keeffe.” They are simple, but delicious (especially her Roast Leg of Lamb with Garlic). I think how a person cooks is another insight into “how they lived.” Monet was quite a cook at his home and studio in Giverney—“Monet’s Table.” I also loved the way O’Keeffe dressed; often wished I could find clothes like hers. Thank you for this wonderful postcard.
Morrison, I didn't realize this about O'Keeffe, that she was a good cook, or that she enjoyed it. About the way she dressed, you might like to look through the photos in the book I referred to in the post, Georgia O'Keeffe: Living Modern, which you put on hold as an interlibrary loan: 759.13 O'Keeffe.
I actually own that book (I splurged). I have a little collection of Georgia O’Keeffe books, including one called “Places of Their Own” (Emily Carr, the Canadian artist, O’Keeffe, and Frida Kahlo). I admit to a bit of an obsession about modern women artists, especially Louise Bourgeois and Barbara Hepworth.
Another excellent Postcard. Georgia's spaces were just gorgeous and so "her" in many ways. And I love her quote at the end - it put me in a calm and happy mood to start the day (so perhaps I'll skip the news this morning!). Thanks, Deda!
I wonder what she would have thought of our nation today, the disgraced twice impeached Donald Trump, the illegitimate Supreme Court and the tragedy of gun violence. hmmmm?????
Maybe it's her spiritual side that comes through in her paintings, Cindy. The book I mention in the post has a section on this, perhaps including the tea pouring, and I remember reading there that she owned kimonos. (The book is back at the library!)

I really like how you point out her spaces were "her", as are all our spaces -- if we let them be!

Oh, Linda, this is almost unimaginable. I'm curious!
Thanks Deda. Love the pictures on her inner house. Never thought about that.
Not sure why I'm drawn to her so much, but I am. Love her paintings etc.
Grea t way to start my day. Thanks.
