Georgia O'Keeffe, York Beach, Maine, May 11, 1922
"There
is something so terrifying about the rocky places — I like them — but —
maybe I'm afraid — maybe it's too much excitement for me to carry alone
— Portsmouth — yesterday was a queer experience — The country on the
way over by trolley is very lovely — The houses so neat — so severe —
They are quite as terrifying as the ocean — no people outside around
them — occasionally — very seldom — a man working in the fields."
This painting, Standing Back Rocks,
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

Long Sands Beach, York, ME in the 1920s when she visited alone to
