August Paintings of the Month

Updated: Mar 26, 2025

I apologize for the gap with a July painting of the month. July ended up being a handful

of a month. However, I’M BACK with two paintings of the month for August – my take on

Georgia O’Keeffe’s “Tent Door at Night."

I saw this painting in a biography about her and was immediately struck by the apparent simplicity of it but later realizing it wasn’t so simple. Glimmers of light can be visible even in a lot of darkness; gather whatever meaning you want from that.


I decided to do a couple interpretations of that painting in cool colors and warm colors.



Check my interpretations out here:

My Paintings of the Month are discounted 20% during their featured month.

Georgia O’Keeffe was born in the Midwest but is more known for her time and love for New Mexico. She was married for a time to photography pioneer Alfred Stieglitz. I’m

fortunate that a couple of museums in my part of the world have 4 Georgia O’Keeffe works that I can see nearly any time I want. A museum of her life and work is on my

bucket list to go to someday.

I’ve been following Krista and her amazing work for a while now and loved everything she created. They are always full of energy, and color and even attitude. As a former art director I knew I had to have one of my own. The only problem and its really NOT a

problem is that most were large scale works. I don’t have enough wall space! But when talking to Krista after viewing a specific piece, she made a promise, that she would create a piece similar in technique but of a smaller scale. I was thrilled.

 

And so, she presented me with this stunning abstract

expressionist piece that she titled as “Rew’s Sky”. It’s beautiful, full of energy like the artist herself and I love it. I’ve already received quite a few compliments regarding the work as now it’s hanging in a perfect location - our living room - to be gazed upon

for many years.

 

Krista was able to create a one of a kind for us. I know that she will do that for you as well.
