O’Keeffe (1887-1986) was a supervisor of drawing and penmanship for Amarillo schools from 1912 to 1914. In September of 1916, O’Keeffe began teaching at West Texas State Normal College in Canyon. While in Canyon, O’Keeffe spent her free time painting and drawing Palo Duro Canyon. Experts on the artist consider her time in Canyon essential to her becoming one of the most important American artists of the twentieth century. This O’Keeffe resulted from her time in Canyon.

This piece is currently on display in the alcove of the PPHM Art Galleries.
