Which New Mexico landscape became a recurring subject for Georgia O'Keeffe?

Ghost Ranch became a recurring subject for Georgia O'Keeffe.

O'Keeffe first visited New Mexico in 1929 and repeatedly painted its cliffs, bones, churches, roads, and broad desert spaces. Ghost Ranch, north of Abiquiú, was especially important because of its dramatic red and yellow formations and distinctive light.

She rented a house at Ghost Ranch for many years and later acquired a house in nearby Abiquiú. Works associated with the area include paintings of the cliffs often called the “Ranchos de Abiquiú” or “Pedernal” landscapes. The region helped define the visual identity of her later career.

Ghost Ranch is not the same place as the town of Santa Fe, where O'Keeffe eventually lived and where a museum dedicated to her work opened after her death. Both locations are strongly associated with her New Mexico years, but Ghost Ranch is the landscape site recognized for its recurring painted views.
