What was Georgia O'Keeffe's childhood like?
As a teenager Georgia moved with her family to Williamsburg, Va., where she attended the Chatham Protestant Episcopal Institute, graduating in 1904. During the next few years she studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Students League (New York). She developed her artistic ability by painting still lifes; most successfully the oil on canvasDead Rabbit With Copper Pot. Though it won her a scholarship in its medium and was an early indication of her genius, it brought Georgia little personal satisfaction for she felt it differed little from the works of still life painters before her. Ergo, she resolved to put painting aside for a while. Briefly she was a freelance commercial artist in Chicago and then found a more pliable career for her art work in that of teaching. In 1912, she became a teacher of art and supervisor of art for the public schools in Amarillo, Texas and in 1918 she became head of the art department at West Texas State Normal College in Canyon, Tx

What is the theme of Georgia O'Keeffe's painting 'Red Amaryllis'?
Me personally, i believe at this time she was vastly in love. The color red is very bold which is very symbolic in America for love. She painted this only a year before she married her husband. She was in her mid thirties. Also this painting is more abstract that most of her paintings. I believe she did this pourposefully, because it was a new experience for her. However, the painting is my favorite and is what turned me onto her. She was exploring this new feeling. That is my answer.
