Georgia O'Keeffe, York Beach, Maine, May 4, 1922
"The rain is wonderful - I feel so peaceful and so excited all at the same time - The house is so still and even though it is low tide the beach is perfectly shiny and smooth and clean looking and there is a wonderful sea rolling in - It's raining so hard that it all seems like a gray sea - with just a little green in it - great long white waves breaking through - big ones and little ones and thin ones and thick ones... Yesterday I tried [sketching] three of the waves - am going to work at it again in a little while."
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.
