In unmistakable Georgia O'Keeffe fashion, the rose in her "Abstraction White Rose" opens to fill the entire frame. O'Keeffe uses her signature feminine sweeps of the brush to articulate almost touchably soft petals. The bloom circles outward from center in the kind of organic asymmetry that feels, in the end, like perfect balance. Petals glow in white amid shadows of pale lavender and deep purple. The effect is reminiscent of clouds, or silk swirled into a pile on the floor, or a hurricane viewed from above. At once delicate and nurturing, this white rose is the kind of flower that invites you to climb inside and nest between its petals.
