Georgia O'Keeffe. Series I, No. 10, 1919. Oil on canvas, 20 1/8 x 16 1/8 inches. Georgia O'Keeffe Museum (Santa Fe), Gift of The Georgia O'Keeffe Foundation. © Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. [2006.5.86]
This work is mainly abstract in nature. A large, light-colored form with softly-curving edges occupies the lower half of the canvas. It is a light blue-green color; however, a yellowish-white area fills the upper-central portion of the form. A green form resembling a leafy tree occupies the middle ground, while a dark blue mountain-like form fills the background.
One of O’Keeffe’s favorite pastimes while summering at Lake George was rowing in Tea Island Bay— a small inlet with lush views of the surrounding forests and rugged peaks. Several paintings resulted from her observations rowing on the lake, including Series 1, No. 10. Here, O’Keeffe transforms the natural world into an abstract composition, capturing the scenery seen from her boat as she rowed.
