Paintings of purpose


     Whether O'Keeffe meant it or not, her paintings were metaphors. She painted a lot of her flowers on epic canvases, and the paintings themselves were extremely up-close. From looking at these paintings, it makes people realize that they have to look closely into one another to see who their piers really are. In a more literal sense, looking at the immense paintings of flowers shows you that you need to look closely to see how beautiful the flower really is. You need to look closely at the colors, the shape, and the graceful twists of the petals . Then you will understand that it is not just a simple flower, it is a natural beauty. To get people to understand this concept, Georgia decided to make her flowers extra-large, which shows people how stunning they actually are. Just like observing a flower carefully helps you see it, getting to know your piers helps you understand them.
