Palo Duro Canyon State Park is located about 26 miles south of Amarillo, Texas. The Palo Duro is the second longest canyon feature in the United States. It’s orange and yellow tinged cliffs and lush green meadows are a welcome and startling sight after a long journey across the flat and generally featureless plains of West Texas. Few now know that the great American painter Georgia O’Keefe once was a great admirer and frequent visitor to the site while teaching art at the nearby college town of Canyon, Texas. O’Keefe once very aptly described Palo Duro’s wild and rugged beauty thus: ”It is a burning, seething cauldron, filled with dramatic light and color.” To see more of Palo Duro Canyon, CLICK HERE.
The Ghost Ranch was a favorite hangout of leading American artists and writers of the early to mid-twentieth century. It was made famous by Georgia O’Keefe, whose painting entitled “Ram’s Head, White Hollyhock and Little Hills” now serves as the icon for the Ghost Ranch and undoubtedly inspired the placement of this skull atop a shaman’s pole near one of the conference centers that was in use by Lynn V. Andrews . To see more Ghost Ranch Photos, go here!
