What do Georgia O'Keeffe and I have in common?

New Mexico skies are gorgeous and constantly changing. (photo by Jane LaFazio)
Listen to what Dan Fogelberg had to say about Georgia O'Keeffee:

Dan Fogelberg's "Bones in the Sky" about Georgia O'Keeffe.

One of my best Yoga Poses in Public Places

Yoga Poses in Public Places. DH Lawrence Ranch.
outside Taos, New Mexico September 2016
THE actual tree, at DH Lawrence Ranch that Georgia O'Keeffe painted
Lawrence Tree by Georgia O'Keeffe (1929)
Yes, we visited DH Lawrence Ranch outside Taos, New Mexico, to SEE the tree that Georgia O'Keeffe lay below and inspired her to paint Lawrence Tree. And yes, I did a Yoga Pose in Public Places standing on the bench (that she may have laid upon) in front of the tree.

A little video of Taos, New Mexico

Last month,  I took my husband to Taos, New Mexico. He had never been, and I wanted to show him the magical place. We stayed at Mabel Dodgle Luhan Inn, where I hold my annual LavenderSage Art Retreat. And we visit Abiquiu and the home of Georgia O'Keeffe. We had a great trip! 

Here's a link to the VIDEO.

I created the book, below, from my sketchbook drawings and the brochure from the fabulous exhibition of Mabel Dodge Luhan at the Harwood Art Museum in Taos. I'll show you the inside of my sketchbook soon.
