Push and pull

Flowing, organic forms excellently balanced...the push and pull of the darkest element in the front blanketing the picture plane and pushed out beyond the borders...the cross form is held in place by it's position but, visually moving back into space because of its value...the horizon and sunset are pulling forward due to the warm color scheme...the overall composition is organic with flowing hills in perspective...

The sophisticated way Georgia O'Keefe adds hints of color, at the top of the mountain, across the top of the picture plane, circles within the cross form...is beyond seeing, showing off her expertise in using visual language...it sets a unique mood and embodies the view of the west...her work feels like it is a part of New Mexico, the culture, the light and the style...
