More about the book
Georgia O'Keeffe's time in New Mexico and the paintings she created that were inspired by the region solidified her legacy as one of the most famous American modernists. But did you ever wonder how an artist like O'Keeffe found her inspiration to begin experimenting with new and different colors schemes and compositions? This endearing narrative hints at how Georgia O'Keeffe may have found her fresh perspective in the Red Hills of New Mexico, by imagining the relationship between the famous painter and her dog. Follow along with the fluffy black dog named Bo as he eagerly explores the stark desert landscape with his owner. But when the artist tires of exploring and painting the rust-colored landscape, Bo decides he needs to help Georgia become inspired to paint again. Unknowingly under the watchful eye of a lizard, he sets off alone in search of the lush flowers that he knows his owner is missing . . . in the desert. Will Bo find what he's looking for, or something even more beautiful? Does the desert hold the spectacular southwestern treasures that would become the subjects of the famous artist's new compositions?
