For 3 years a good buddy of mine in the media arts has compared my springtime nouveau-ish shapes to O'Keeffe's flower paintings in the worst way possible. Cuz you know, she just looooved critics summing up the whole of her as the lady who paints the lady bits flowers. Between that and critics talking/writing on her work in comparison to her companion (Alfred Stieglitz) I can only imagine the frustration Georgia O'Keeffe went through.

He's not pissing me off intentionally and honestly not the only dude who's hinted the same thing. Past discussions and actual art history hint that anything I say won't change that. So now I'm channeling my annoyance by angry drawing grotesquely sexed up or fleshy flowers. Leaning new textures and techniques as I go! My buddy didn't like them, in the best way possible. So mission accomplished!
