Georgia OKeeffe Quotes

I hate flowers - I paint them because they’re cheaper than models and they don’t move Picture Quote #1

Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven’t time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time Picture Quote #1

One can not be an American by going about saying that one is an American. It is necessary to feel America, like America, love America and then work Picture Quote #1
