Calla lilies, simple and striking, have always been one of my favorites. It's easy to see why Georgia O'Keeffe was drawn to paint their sensual swirls. There is something innocent and at the same time coy in the way their curves capture light, a question and an answer, a mystery revealed. Beauty, and a thing's importance, are truly in the eye and soul of the beholder, where small things become immense. I love O'Keeffe's large-scale interpretation. It's as if she was privy to some universal secret truth and I often wonder, how did she know?
