Georgia O'Keeffe is
one of those rare artists who is a household name, whose work is
instantly recognizable. She is known, of course, for her flower imagery,
and her depictions of the American South West landscape. But she also
did glorious, imaginative citiscapes.

In my newest piece,
involving a man, reading a newspaper up against a building, I am
thinking a lot about these images, and I lifted ideas
directly from them, particularly this one here:

Georgia O'Keeffe, Ritz Tower, 1928

This piece, Watch, is still in process (though it seems to be close to being done). When I decided to add the lighted windows, I was taking a huge artistic risk and it changed the whole piece. It is The Ritz Tower by Georgia O'Keeffe that has been guiding me through.
Watch is 20x40, and has collaged newspaper, as well as collaged windows.
You can see the blow by blow process of making this painting on my Instagram, Facebook or, yes, even Twitter.
