"Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven’t time, and to see takes time – like to have a friend takes time.” – Georgia O’Keeffe

This week I want to introduce one of the famous American Artist Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986).She is a American abstract painter .
O'Keeffe painted still lifes, massive flowers, the New York at Night series, southwestern landscapes and stark bones found in the desert.

Instead of painting usual size of flowers she painted enlarged versions ...of a single flower, like what you would see if you were to look through a magnifying glass. Needless to say, this fascination resulted in some stunning painting and make her very famous.
