Wanted.

O'Keeffe, Only One, 1969


It happens that the thing that I have done, the things that I’ve been doing have been in touch with my time so that people have liked it. But I could have been much better and nobody noticed it. Much better I'll say as a painter. Some people seem to be luckier than others. I don’t know, maybe it’s because I’ve taken hold of anything that came along that I wanted. On this knife I might fall off on either side, but I’ll walk it again. So what. What if you do fall off? I’d rather be doing something that I really wanted to do.
- Georgia O'Keeffe
