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

Cerro Pedernal appears repeatedly in Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings.

The flat-topped mountain rises near Ghost Ranch in northern New Mexico. O'Keeffe viewed it from her homes and studios and used its distinctive silhouette in numerous paintings.

She once wrote that it was her private mountain and that she painted it so often she could claim it. That statement reflects both the mountain's personal importance and her habit of returning to familiar forms.

Cerro Pedernal is not the highest mountain in New Mexico, but its isolated shape made it a powerful compositional subject. Its association with O'Keeffe is stronger than with the state's larger mountain ranges.
