". . . all her life, Georgia O'Keeffe enjoyed asking questions.
it surprised her__ that people didn't ask questions. rarely they'd enquire
about a thing or two, while she spoke . . .
most of the time what people said was of no interest to her __ or it
plain was wrong ! it made her angry. so, she liked to end her talk
with __ "I would, wouldn't you?"
Georgia spent nights & hot days in the desert of
New Mexico , painting . . . " the center of the sun
lives here, in the Red Hills," she said. & Georgia
painted it all. . .
when it got unbearably hot, she hid under her car. . .
" you want shade__ under the car is the only place
where you'll find it! . . . if you don't know that, you have
no business living here __ unless you want to die !"
