From the Lake by Georgia O' Keeffe is one of the most famous paintings in the world. She drew this painting when She spent her days at Lake George, New York in the early 1900s, which has inspired many of her works. This painting describe the gentle waves and ripples of Lake George. O'Keeffe was born November 15th 1887 and first came to the attention of the New York art community in 1916. She became one of America’s most celebrated cultural icons well before her death at age 98 in 1986. I enjoy the simplicity of this painting, its very calm and colorful.
