Georgia Totto O’Keeffe (November 15, 1887 – March 6, 1986) was an American modernist painter and draftswoman whose career spanned seven decades and whose work remained largely independent of major art movements. Called the “Mother of American modernism”, O’Keeffe gained international recognition for her meticulous paintings of natural forms, particularly flowers and desert-inspired landscapes, which were often drawn from and related to places and environments in which she lived.
I think if you cut the last characters off the image link (after.jpeg) it should display in the body. I love this picture. Jimson Weed sounded familiar, it’s another name for Datura… some people take it as a hallucinogen but it’s also toxic, in the nightshade family :0
I edited the URLs for both the post and the comment. Hopefully they will work better now.
