The area surrounding Ghost Ranch, located in Northern New Mexico, has been a source of inspiration for many artists over the centuries. Renowned artists such as Adams, Weston, and O'Keefe found inspiration in this diverse landscape, which is infused with a rich and complex culture. In this particular image, which portrays Mt. Pedernal in the background, we see O'Keefe's beloved mountain. She claimed that God had instructed her to paint it. She regarded it as her personal mountain, as God had indicated that it would belong to her if she did an impeccable job.
