The best way to meet O'Keeffe.

I finally met Georgia O'Keeffe. In of all places. Rome. Because my Italian true love likes to frequent museums. Wherever she goes. And an extensive exhibit of O'Keeffe's works was at Fondazione Roma Meseo on Palazzo Cipolla. I have two prints of O'Keeffe's floral works hanging in my home in Minnesota. Because I like 'em. And to see the O'Keeffe exhibit was an unexpected treat. I have often thought about visiting O'Keeffe's late life hangout in New Mexico. And I will some day. O'Keeffe had an intense and fascinating life. And a long one, too. She lived to 99. Died in 1986. Always had a zest for life. And it's all reflected in her paintings. That's the best way to meet Georgia O'Keeffe. --Jim Broede
