Sunday Citar - Georgia O'Keeffe

My focus for today's Sunday Citar is Georgia O'Keeffe. The color and drama of her floral paintings have always fascinated me. Joining Fresh Mommy for Sunday Citar, I would like to share these Georgia O'Keeffe quotes about her art.

• "I decided that if I could paint that flower in a huge scale, you could not ignore its beauty."
  
  
• "I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way... things I had no words for."
  
  
• "So I said to myself, I'll paint what I see, what the flower is to me, but I'll paint it big and they will be surprised into taking the time to look at it. I will make even busy New Yorkers take time to see what I see of flowers."

Once I checked out a HUGE book on Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings from the library. After trying to lift the book, my 5 year old son said, "Mommy, she must have painted every flower in the world." Sorry to say that the kids didn't look through the book, but they did enjoy trying to lift it to show off their strength!

Happy Sunday!
