i work in some elementary schools in northern nj.
i walked into one today and noticed near the main entrance door a painting by none other than georgia o'keefe
(well a print of the painting, anyway)


i could be wrong, though. i know it was a "flower" painting.
does anyone else find it strange that this would be at an elementary school?


smaller but should work.
i hope.


lsrger.

Cool pic...don't remember seeing that before but I see no problem with it at an elementary school.

I would imagine some of the younger ones might mistake it for something aflame?


BTW, folks, click-n-drag the link :p

Nice pic. Don't see anything wrong with it unless you take note of the fact that a lot of O'Keefe flower paintings resemble a certain portion of the female anatomy most ATOTers are unfamiliar with. ;)

Even then, you have to really look at that painting to see the faint resemblance....

That's cause you're a pervert, which is not the case for most 7 year olds.

Well, it's not that obvious or perhaps I'm just seeing what I think it looks like. In any case, a lot of O'Keefe paintings are a bit more obvious from what I've seen.

EDIT: Yeah, I probably fall into the pervert category. Shoot me. :p

Yeah, but the painting is of a flower, not an apple.
