Recently, I made my first trip to Ghost Ranch, where Georgia O'Keeffe found inspiration for her paintings. It wasn't until the end of the day that we arrived, just in time to catch the last minutes of sun on the cliffs. The color gradations from purples and reds of the geology to brilliant yellows of sunlit white cliffs, with subtle changes in reflected light are evident in this stunning landscape. I plan on doing at least one larger painting of this area.

I did an amount of research on this landscape for a piece i posted in May, on Secret Poems, called Georgia, about o'Keefe and her relationship to the land around Ghost Ranch. It's incredible country, and I suppose it's some sort of heresy to say I get a better sense of it looking at your picture than at hers.
Love the glow in this one.
