Georgia O'Keeffe, York Beach, Maine, May 11, 1922
"Don't expect too much of my pastels - I am stacking them in a pile on my closet shelf - but I guess they aren't much - just some foolishnesses - I am beginning to feel that I might be interested in painting - There are all sorts of things in my head but it's so late now - I'll do the best I can with the pastels - I can manage very well - I like them too because they go very fast and I can leave them at anytime - I guess the reason why I like oils is that they seem more definite -
Must get to work now-"
