Are you familiar with Georgia O'Keefe's "Red Poppy"? I am teaching a kindergarten class about this painting and could use some interesting tid-bits of information if you've got any... Thanks!

she kept a large house. In the house she had many empty rooms. She sat up an easel in each room and would move from room to room and paint for a while, then when she needed a break or when inspiration left her she would move to a different room and work on the painting there. In that way she kept many unrelated paintings in progress at all times and could plug in and unplug her thinking regarding any particular painting just by walking in or out of the room.

She lived from November 15, 1887—March 6, 1986. She is chiefly known for paintings in which she synthesizing abstraction of flowers, rocks, shells, bones, landscapes, and similar objects. She stopped painting in 1972 because of eyesight problems. You can find a museum of her work online at http://www.okeeffemuseum.org/home.aspx The Red Poppy is an example of the richness and depth of her work.
