Georgia O'Keeffe found a muse in Palo Duro Canyon - Houston Chronicle: "In the early-morning light, the weather-carved ramparts of Palo Duro Canyon glowed iron-rust orange, sulfur gold and gypsum white against the green valley floor.
I might have been standing in the same place in which painter Georgia O'Keeffe stood in 1916, the year she began teaching at West Texas State Normal College (now West Texas A&M University) in tiny Canyon, Texas. A few years later, she would become famous for painting brilliant abstractions and magnified flowers. But in 1916, the 29-year-old O'Keeffe was struggling to find and express her artistic vision."
