True North

I don't know whether you can read this but it's basically a quote by Georgia O'Keefe.  She said that she came to the conclusion in 1923 "I found myself saying to myself...I can't live where I want to.......I can't go where I want to........I can't do what I want to....I can't even say what I want to.  I decided that I was a very stupid fool not to at least paint as I wanted to do.....that seemed to be the only thing I could do that didn't concern anybody but myself."   I guess that was what it took for her to create the beautiful flowers and bone paintings that she did.  I would just like to have more time to create what I want to!!  Diane
