Georgia O' Keeffe's Seashell Paintings
I've always loved Georgia O'Keeffe's Flowers..., and only recently I discovered these gorgeous seashell paintings of hers...

... so you cannot ignore their beauty -her own words as to why she paints them huge.
(All three seashell paintings are available as prints at art.com, just click images).

They are beautiful.
I used to have an O'Keefe reproduction, when I was into Southwest theme, I owned her cow skull painting. By the way, I just noticed that you are from the coast of Rhode Island...luv, luv, luv your home! Is it in Newport? I'm curious because I have family in East Greenwich and I lived with them for a couple of months, but decided to move back to Southern California. I still visit occasionally.

Thanks, Maya! Those are great looking prints, I have never seen these by Georgia before. They would look great in my beachy room. I wish I had more wall space in there to diplay more. Love them! Thank you for stopping by.
