Which New Mexico mountain did Georgia O'Keeffe often paint from her Abiquiú area home?

Georgia O'Keeffe often painted Cerro Pedernal from her Abiquiú area home.

Cerro Pedernal is a flat-topped mountain in northern New Mexico that became one of O'Keeffe's recurring subjects. It lies near Ghost Ranch and was visible from areas where she lived and worked. O'Keeffe painted the distinctive mesa repeatedly, transforming its recognizable profile into simplified arrangements of color and form.

She once described the mountain as her private mountain and famously said that God told her she could have it if she painted it often enough. The remark captures her attachment to the landscape, though the mountain itself remained a real geographic feature rather than an invented symbol.

Cerro Pedernal is sometimes confused with the cliffs and hills around Ghost Ranch or with the nearby Abiquiú landscapes that also appear in her work. Its flat summit and isolated silhouette make it particularly identifiable in O'Keeffe's New Mexico paintings.
