Georgia O'Keeffe shades her work really good and in my opinion I think she takes time and care into her work , altho O'Keeffe can draw flowers she can draw shells just as good the detail in her work is amazing as I enjoy looking at her work .
Georgia O'Keeffe is my favourite artist out of all the artist we have looked at so far. I like her work because it's very unique. My favourite painting by Georgia O'Keeffe is The Red Poppy painting.
