Which New Mexico landscape feature appears repeatedly in Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings?

Pedernal Mountain appears repeatedly in Georgia O'Keeffe's New Mexico paintings.

Cerro Pedernal is a distinctive flat-topped mountain in northern New Mexico. O'Keeffe painted it from different viewpoints and in different seasons, simplifying its recognizable profile into bold shapes and color fields. The mountain was visible from her Abiquiú home and became one of the most identifiable geographic motifs in her work.

O'Keeffe famously said that it was her private mountain and that she could paint it whenever she wished. The statement reflects both the mountain's personal importance and her practice of returning to subjects repeatedly rather than treating each painting as a one-time record.

Pedernal is not the same as Ghost Ranch, the nearby area that also inspired her. Ghost Ranch is a landscape and former ranch property; Cerro Pedernal is the isolated mountain landmark.
