Black Place II, Georgia O'Keeffe, 1944, Oil on canvas.
For fourteen years, 1936 - 1949, I worked at Bisti Badlands which was approximately150 miles from Ghost Ranch.  I produced a lot from this period, six oil paintings a large pastel and some drawings.  It was such a desolate and beautiful place, with the black hills and pink strata running through them.
