just home one day from the state of Washington
It was the second time I've been privileged to visit Georgia O'Keeffe's home and studio in
Abiquiu, NM....
this time followed by a tour of Ghost Ranch to experience her vistas....
They are very protective of this land and her home.....
NO PHOTOS allowed of her home....NO SKETCHING even....
and for that I was grateful.....as it takes the pressure off
and allows the visitor to just
BE HERE NOW.
I love Georgia's aesthetic.....simple and clean.....only the necessary items displayed....along with rocks
and as I left it was not lost on me that with all of this simplicity....
she did have TWO homes
and not very small at that.
I was able to sneak this shot from the road outside her compound....
we stayed in a little adobe house across the street......
I love this place
and the views from it
are
breathtaking
bliss ..one day i will be back to that land x
ReplyDeleteYes you will!
DeleteI sure do love seeing your photos of New Mexico. I have not been there in ages. So odd that I grew up there, but since my folks moved on/passed, I have no people there, so never return.
ReplyDeleteI do remember O'Keeffe's house in Abiquiu. How beautiful!
You have people here Leslie. Anytime you want to visit!
DeleteI would hope to see Georgia O'Keefe's home and studio one day. I love the simplicity that you describe.
ReplyDeletethanks for reminding me about Georgia and her true vision.
xx
