It's interesting how I got introduced to Georgia O'Keeffe. In 1980 - 81 I had a math teacher who called me in after class. He asked me what I would do if I didn't have to come to his class anymore and I told him I'd probably read the library if I couldn't leave school grounds. He said: great, I'll keep you informed of the test schedule because your drawings are too distracting to your classmates. The library, shared with a College, didn't hold that much of interest to me, until I hit upon an enormous book (in terms of square feet) with the works of Georgia O'Keeffe. I revisited this book almost daily and aced my tests.

Thank you Dr. McDonough. (hope I got the spelling right)

While I can't claim I like every one of her works, I like the comparison of listening to a good record to taking in an image created by O'Keeffe, You have to take the time to absorb it, or it's beauty will be lost to you.

This world seems committed to forever shortening attention spans and presents us with a barrage of imagery that is lost in an instant leaving us with no image at all. Subconscious retention? To whose benefit? Certainly not yours or mine..
