. photograph fromThe MOMENT NY Times magazine- HER world at Abiquiu was beautiful. Abiquiu-Ghost Ranch must have possessed Georgia O'Keeffe. I can see how that could happen. The stillness. The wide horizon. The landscape- it seduces. It took O'Keeffe as its lover and never relinquished its hold on her. Stieiglitz AT the time of her first 1929 visit- She was a New Yorker, was already established as an artist, was married to a major photographer, was beautiful. Yes, looking at O'Keeffe- she appears today- the photographs of her are totally modern- a page from one of Ralph Lauren's dreamy lifestyle advertisements. Stieglitz THE one thing She didn't have was- A place of her own, A place to paint, A place for silence. Albiququ fulfilled those desires- She maintained her marriage,traveling to NY to meet her photographer husband- He never came to Her World. O'Keeffe found herself amongst the ancients: the austere Abiquiu was Beauty, Inspiration, and she remained Faithful to it until her death in 1986 at the age of 98. "I wish I had kept a diary, I think I know now that my life is never going to look right." O'Keeffe by Yousuf Karsh Ghost Ranch ALONG with purchasing Ghost Ranch in 1940, she rented it until then, O'Keeffe purchased another house in 1945 and its restoration was completed in 1949. She lived there and at Ghost Ranch as well. The Abiquiu house was a 5,000-square-foot Spanish Colonial 18ty century compound in Abiquiu and was in ruins. Male villagers of Abiquiu made the adobe brick and the woman of the village-the most skilled in plastering- worked the earth's mud into refined thin walls. Here- her staff took care of the house and property- while she painted. A studio was built beyond the house and a vegetable garden was planted. HER INTERIORS at ABIQUIU: Tables of plain pieces of wood on stands, bare bulbs, sticks, Muslin cloth bed covers, white sheeting,an elk horn rack, horns, skulls, large rocks, river rocks & pebbles, Japanese lanterns, & an Alexander Calder mobile, Plywood tabletops, Bancos-rounded adobe ledges at the base of the adobe walls-for sitting. Chestnut Tree O'Keeffe "I said to myself, I have things in my head that are not like what anyone has taught me - shapes and ideas so near to me - so natural to my way of being and thinking that it hasn't occurred to me to put them down. I decided to start anew, to strip away what I had been taught." photograph by Stieglitz,1918 Things you might not know about Georgia O'Keeffe: William Merritt Chase was her mentor. Her aesthetic included Chinese and Japanese Art and her work- upon examination- reflects that. One of her favorite books was The Book of Tea, 1906 Okakura Kakuzo. "The similarities between her own life and the Japanese tea ceremony were obvious- her constant manner, her humility, her exactness, her utterly respectful exactness." ( Christine Taylor Patten from the O'Keeffe At Abiquiu book) "In 1906 in turn-of-the century Boston, a small, esoteric book about tea was written with the intention of being read aloud in the famous salon of Isabella Gardner. It was authored by Okakura Kakuzo, a Japanese philosopher, art expert, and curator. Little known at the time, Kakuzo would emerge as one of the great thinkers of the early 20th century, a genius who was insightful, witty-and greatly responsible for bridging Western and Eastern cultures. Nearly a century later, Kakuzo's the Book of Tea is still beloved the world over. Interwoven with a rich history of tea and its place in Japanese society is poignant commentary on Eastern culture and our ongoing fascination with it, as well as illuminating essays on art, spirituality, poetry, and more. the Book of Tea is a delightful cup of enlightenment from a man far ahead of his time" (text from here) " Turn to the pages about flowers. He understands about flowers. You know, he says that a butterfly is a flower with wings. Don't you think that is a fine idea?" G. O'Keeffe the Pansy,1926 "Nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small it takes time - we haven't time - and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time. " Georgia O'Keeffe Oriental Poppies, 1928 Georgia O'Keeffe has a place at the table of artist Judy Chicag's Dinner Party .The O'Keeffe setting is the last at the Chicago table. Chicago acknowledged the influence O'Keefe on future feminist artists, pronouncing her work as "pivotal in the development of an authentically female iconography" (Judy Chicago) More about Women of the Southwest in future posts- Millicent Rogers especially, along with Ima Hogg, Mabel Dodge- maybe someday Me. more on O'Keeffe: Lifetime Movie Sept 19, Saturday Georgia O'Keeffe, Joan Allen, Jeremy Irons little augury the O'Keeffe Museum Her Houses at the Whitney Georgia O'Keefffe Abstraction Sept 17 ,2009- Jan 17,2010 from Art In the Picture from the blog Sexuality in Art: O'Keeffe and Ansel Adams interior images from O'Keeffe At Abiquiu, text by Christine Taylor Patten, photographs by Myron Wood

Total relaxation goals.
Leading up to life as a post-graduate my goal has always been to give back to my parents, my day-one supporters. Now that I'm approaching a year as a full-time working girl, I am finally in a place where I can start doing so. My mom and I went on our first girls' trip to Italy this past February and still find ourselves gushing about it each time we get together. Come fall, I decided to treat her to a birthday vacation in a city that has all the charm and ease for the perfect girls' trip -- Savannah, Georgia. Lined with Spanish moss-covered oak trees and elegantly historic architecture, Savannah has everything we wanted from a quaint Southern city. Beyond a welcoming environment, the locals made us feel right at home with a kind of friendliness that isn't always found in New York. It takes more than a few paragraphs to describe Savannah with its deeply rooted history and uniquely Southern culture. But I can say that from my mom's goal to visit all fifty of the United States, I'm so grateful we chose to explore this one together. Read on more details from our first day in Georgia's oldest but most beautiful city: I'm not usually a fan of guided tours, but we kicked off our trip with a popular Savannah trolley tour to get acquainted with the city. Most of these tours offer unlimited hop-on hop-off capabilities for the remainder of the day, and I would also recommend them as initial guides to map out the rest of your trip. After the 90-minute ride, we were more than excited to get exploring. Our first brunch was the most un-southern meal of the trip, but as a New Yorker I couldn't resist the best Aussie café in town. The Collins Quarter brought the Australian dining scene to Savannah with its best-in-class coffees (especially the lavender mocha) and avocado toasts, of course. But despite the cultural change, there was definitely a Southern influence on my french toast with its unapologetic toppings of pulled pork and bacon. Just across the street from brunch was the Birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low, who is best known for establishing the Girl Scouts. Fun fact of the day: I was a Girl Scout for about ten years. Savannah has no shortage of homes to visit, and this one seems to always top the list. When visiting the historic city I would absolutely recommend visiting at least one home. The amount of history that lines these streets is best experienced in person rather than read on a web page. Any Forrest Gump fans here? Just down the street from the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace is Chippewa Square, where Tom Hanks famously gave his "life is like a box of chocolates" line. The original bench no longer stands here, but the area is still worth the stroll. Savannah boasts 22 beautiful squares that make walking the best mode of transportation. A further walk down Savannah's historic district is its famous Forsyth Park, where a stunning line of oak trees leads down to the iconic fountain. You can easily spend hours in this park strolling, reading, or simply lounging along any of its 30 acres. It's no wonder that so many couples choose to get married in this very spot. Speaking of weddings, another popular spot for the event is The Gingerbread House, which sits just outside the historic district. This house has become a photographic symbol of Savannah as well as a preferred venue for various events. It was quite the walk from brunch to this spot, but the view was well worth it. There is a consistency between the cities I love most -- Venice, Lisbon, and now Savannah. They are all best seen on foot. I love any walkable city that lends itself to exploration outside of the typical tourist spots. Jones Street is one of the most beautiful streets to stroll in Savannah with its uniquely elegant Southern homes. I especially loved each homeowner's festive spirit, with metallic pumpkins and colorful flowers decorating the stairways. Needless to say I couldn't help but stop to take photos every few seconds. Not photographed: We ended our day with dinner at Alligator Soul, where we dined over an elegant seafood meal. Between stuffed oysters, mussels, and scallops, we had a fantastic culinary welcome to Savannah. Don't be surprised when restaurant staff constantly strike up conversations while you dine either. We were so warmly greeted by our waitress that every minute was made memorable. It's no wonder the South is attributed to hospitality and charm. Stay tuned for more highlights from our Savannah getaway!
Savannah is an enchantingly beautiful city with warm and welcoming locals — and an ideal stop on a Southern USA road trip!
