If you know what I'm trying to say ; just what is the skies, flowers and skulls mural that was inspired by the landscape ? It's a bit vague to me.

Painter Georgia O'Keeffe lived (and painted) during the later part of her life at her 'Ghost Ranch' near the very small town of Abiquiu in north-central New Mexico. The town of Espanola (and nearby Truchas and Chimayo) are to the south while the towns of Tierra Amarilla and Chama are to the north.

The area around the Ghost Ranch and Abiquiu is one of mesas and rolling hills that is featured in many of her paintings. However she did not move to New Mexico until 1949 after living and painting in Texas (where she did many paintings of Palo Duro Canyon) and New York (where she did many of the flower pictures). She made her first visit to New Mexico in 1929 and returned many times until her move in 1949 (following the death of her husband).

Although the paintings could be of New Mexico, she also did a lot of the skulls and other western landscapes during her Texas stay.

Poor health forced her to leave her beloved ranch and move to Santa Fe in the early 1980s and she died there in 1986. Today the Ghost Ranch is a religious retreat, but they do allow visitors.
