Georgia O’Keefe is really inspiring to me because of her beautiful paintings as well as her interesting life.
Once I read a story about her that I will never forget (which ties into my “everything happens for a reason” mindset). Apparently, when O’Keefe was in high school she had a tendency to draw very small images of everything she worked on. One of her teachers noticed this and told her not to draw tiny pictures any longer. Just to spite her teachers order, she painted an enormous poppy. It is ironic that later in life she became famous for this exact type of artwork.
…Because she lived to be 99 years old and this proves that when you do what you love, you live long and prosper!
