"It took me ten years to get it—three more years to fix up the house so I could live in it—and after that the wall with a door was painted many times.” - Georgia O'Keeffe⁠ ⁠ The black door would prove to be an endless source of inspiration for O’Keeffe, who executed twenty-two paintings of the subject between 1946 and 1960. Painted black, the entryway acts as a stark contrast for the earthy amber of the adobe walls, and O’Keeffe employed this feature to divide the compositional space in every one of her Patio paintings. ⁠ ⁠ What aspect of your home inspires you?
