Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! tonight? Today’s Jeopardy! results and will go up on this page late afternoon, with full stats early to late evening. They will be seen in the comments section at the bottom of this page.

The Lawrence Tree was painted in O’Keeffe’s first summer in New Mexico, on the D. H. Lawrence ranch in New Mexico. The perspective was done by O’Keeffe lying on a bench looking up at a tree, and could feasibly be hung in any orientation, though O’Keeffe’s preference matches the orientation that the Wadsworth Atheneum currently uses.

You can get a print of the painting at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art.
