Georgia O’Keeffe and the North Hills

My Chair painting is one of many being auctioned off by the Helena Symphony Orchestra in January 2010 to support their upcoming concert series. Artists from the Helena area have used a wide variety of themes, chairs and colors to help the Symphony launch a wonderful fund raiser. I chose Georgia O’Keeffe as my theme for the chair. She is one of my most favorite artists. This piece is my version of her painting , “Rams Head Hollyhock Hills ” Instead of the Santa Fe mountains I painted the mountains that are on the northern edge of the Helena Valley. Georgia would have felt right at home here in Montana with its majestic mountains and big sky.
