When Georgia O'Keeffe first visited New Mexico in 1917, she was instantly drawn to the stark beauty of its unusual architectural and landscape forms. In 1929, she began spending part of almost every year painting there, first in Taos, and subsequently in and around Alcalde, Abiquiu, and Ghost Ranch, with occasional excursions to remote sites she found particularly compelling. Georgia O'Keeffe and New Mexico is the first book to analyze the artist's famous depictions of these Southwestern landscapes.

Beautifully illustrated and gracefully written, the book accompanies an exhibition of the same name at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It reproduces the exhibition's 50 paintings and includes striking photographs of the sites that inspired them as well as diagrams of the region's distinctive geology. The book examines the magnificence of O'Keeffe's work through essays by three noted authors. Barbara Buhler Lynes, Curator of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and organizer of the exhibition, discusses the relationship of the artist's paintings to the places that inspired her.

Frederick Turner offers an illuminating essay contrasting O'Keeffe's fabled aloofness from the well-established art colony in Santa Fe with her intense closeness to the local landscape she so fiercely loved. Lesley Poling-Kempes furnishes a fascinating chronicle of O'Keeffe's years in the region as well as a useful explanation of the geological forces that produced the intense colors and dramatic shapes of the landscapes O'Keeffe painted.

Back Jacket

"This book will significantly contribute to our understanding of this phase of O'Keeffe's life and accomplishments. Lynes' essay, in particular, opens up a new aspect of the artist's work. She revisits the landscapes that inspired much of O'Keeffe's artistry, comparing each carefully with its corresponding painted rendition. She discovers how the artist walks the fine line between specific observation and playful abstraction. Her careful consideration of each pictorial structure makes us see the lengths to which O'Keeffe went in order to make these landscape forms speak to her."--Kathleen Pyne, University of Notre Dame

  • Outdoor Cooking Tradition

    Outdoor cooking is a delightful way to combine the love for the outdoors with the joy of preparing and eating food. Here are some traditional outdoor cooking techniques and tips to get you started:

    Traditional Outdoor Cooking Techniques

    • Campfire Cooking: The most iconic form of outdoor cooking. Whether it's roasting marshmallows for s'mores or grilling sausages on sticks, campfire cooking is simple yet delightful. For more elaborate meals, cast-iron Dutch ovens can be used to prepare stews, soups, and even baked goods.
    • Barbecue: A beloved cooking technique that varies from region to region. From the low-and-slow smoked meats of the American South to the vibrant marinades and spice rubs of the Caribbean, barbecue traditions offer a wide range of mouthwatering options.
    • Tandoor Cooking: Originating in the Indian subcontinent, tandoor cooking involves using a clay oven known as a tandoor. The oven is heated by charcoal or wood, creating intense heat perfect for baking bread, roasting meat, and cooking flavorful skewered kebabs.
    • Pit Cooking: An ancient technique that involves creating an underground pit, usually lined with stones or bricks, and cooking food directly over hot coals or heated rocks. This method is widely practiced by various cultures, such as the Hawaiian Imus.

  • Gardening

    Every gardener’s trusted companion.

    Gardening starts with a few reliable supplies and tools that make tasks easier and more enjoyable. Essential hand tools include a sturdy hand trowel for planting and potting, sharp pruners for clean cuts, a cultivator or hand fork for loosening soil and removing weeds, and a good pair of gloves to protect your hands. For larger jobs, a spade or shovel, a garden rake, and a wheelbarrow or cart save time and effort.

     

    Buying priorities

    Focus on quality over quantity: forged-steel heads and well-fixed handles last longer. Choose tools with ergonomic handles and a weight that feels comfortable for you. Start with a compact kit for daily use and add specialty tools like a hori-hori knife, pruning saw, or soil moisture meter as needs arise.

     

    Care and storage

    Clean soil off tools after each use, dry them, and oil metal parts to prevent rust. Sharpen blades regularly for safer, more effective cuts and inspect handles for cracks. Store tools off the ground in a dry, ventilated space to extend their life and keep your work area tidy.

     

    Quick starter list

    • Hand trowel; Pruners; Gloves; Spade; Garden fork; Hose with nozzle; Watering can; Hand rake; Wheelbarrow.

    A small set of well-chosen, well-maintained tools covers most home gardening needs and makes growing plants more rewarding.

Chandelier Collection

A chandelier is a decorative ceiling-mounted light fixture designed to hold multiple light sources, traditionally candles and now electric bulbs. Originating from the French word chandelle (meaning candle), chandeliers have long symbolized elegance and grandeur in homes, palaces, and public spaces.

Classic chandeliers often feature crystal or glass prisms that refract light into sparkling patterns, while modern designs range from minimalist metal frames to bold, artistic shapes. Beyond illumination, they serve as a focal point in dining rooms, entryways, and ballrooms, adding both style and ambiance.

When choosing a chandelier, consider the scale of the room, ceiling height, and the desired mood. A well-placed chandelier not only brightens a space but also elevates its character, blending function with timeless beauty.
