Thesis Statement

10-23-06

Georgia O'Keefe's paintings are a timeline of O'Keefe's feelings and life.
SUB TOPICS
I am not quite sure what my sub topics are but I am thinking that i could write about certain places that she lived. In the different states or countries or cities her stlye of painting changed. For Example, when she lived in New Mexico her paintings where of bones she found and of the beauitful scenery around her.

"I decided to start anew, to strip away what I had been taught."
"I said to myself, I have things in my head that are not like what anyone has taught me - shapes and ideas so near to me - so natural to my way of being and thinking that it hasn't occurred to me to put them down."
