| Blue Morning Glories Georgia O'Keeffe 1935 |
The idea is to occupy Facebook with art, breaking up all the political posts. Whoever "likes" this post will be given an artist and has to post a piece by that artist, along with this text. I received Georgia O'Keeffe.
While looking through her work, it was hard to choose one image. I chose two things I like, the color blue and morning glories.
As I sit and type, I'm wishful thinking Summer weather while a foot of snow is on the ground, more is gently falling, and another significant storm is predicted for Sunday night into Monday.
Painted in 1935, so long ago, and yet so current. I love getting lost in the flower. The deep blue and intense sun of the center of the morning glory. A much nicer view than the blanket of white forever stretching outside my windows.
This image was taken from WikiArt as there was also a fair use mark with the image.
Want to play along either on Facebook or on your blog? Just let me know, and I'll assign you an artist.
Enjoyed looking at the morning glories....but I'll pass on playing.... ;)
ReplyDeleteI've never been on Facebook, but I love your use of Georgia O'Keeffe's art. I was fortunate enough to see her art in person at her museum in Santa Fe. It was a real experience. So, thanks for featuring her.
ReplyDeleteFB was getting overheated with a lot of political post. The meme is a nice break and opens up a world of art to people.
DeleteThere are several of O'Keeffe's paintings at the MFA in Boston. I was really drawn to the depth of the florals.
I like her work. I saw one of her exhibitions years ago in Chicago.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
PS I deactivated my FB account.
ReplyDeleteSo far, it has been a great weekend. Another snowstorm on the way and all the chicks will be in the nest. A great weekend, indeed.
DeleteI think Georgia O'Keeffe was an incredibly talented artist. Her flowers are gorgeous. Actually, a lot of her work is. You lucked out and got a really good artist to post about. Hugs-erika
ReplyDeleteI like her work, too. I think one of her white roses is at the MFA. Her closeup perspective makes you part of the painting. As too a good artist, yes, well known, but it would have been equally fun to research an artist not so well known
DeleteSuch beautiful art!! I'm not on Facebook, but I love this idea!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a nice change of pace. You can play the game on your blog, too. (-;
