O’Keeffe became fascinated with the variety of trees – cedars, maples, poplars, and birches – that grew in abundance at Lake George, and they were the subject of at least twenty‑five compositions. Telescopic views of a single leaf or pairs of overlapping leaves were another recurring motif during O’Keeffe’s Lake George years, resulting in some twenty‑nine canvases. Architectural subjects, including paintings of the weathered barns and buildings on the Stieglitz property that blend the descriptive and the abstract, emerged as a theme, as did a number(Submitted on October 27, 2026, by Trudi Jacobson of Slingerlands, New York.)of panoramic landscape paintings and bold, color‑filled abstractions that often visually related to the subjects she was working on at the time.Photographed by Steve Stoessel, February 17, 20192.
