Georgia O'Keeffe, York Beach, Maine, September 24, 1923
"2 pm - Monday -
The light green waves seemed to come out of space this morning after the sun was well up - They seemed to mark off the edge of the earth and the beginning of time and space - or should I say timeless space - It was soft and warm here and seemed to be soft and warm out beyond the breakers - They were very long and not very high - very even and beautiful - always with that trembling edge that always seems to break."
This painting is included in the display and for sale in the exhibition Bruce McMillan's Coastal York with Georgia's Words at the York Hospital, York, ME, May 1, 2025 to August 31, 2025 featuring original watercolors of Bruce McMillan and excerpts from Georgia O'Keeffe's letters written from Long Sands Beach, York, ME in the 1920s when she visited alone to sketch and paint.
