“I often lay on that bench looking up into the tree, past the trunk and up into the branches. It was particularly fine at night with the stars above the tree.”
― Georgia O’Keeffe

I know exactly which tree O’Keeffe was talking about — the Lawrence Tree. It’s one of her most striking paintings. And this sculpture? There’s another one at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas. My photos didn’t capture all three figures together, so I found this one on the museum website.

Cool! There is a Segal sculpture here in Dallas I like – a group walking to work – called Rush Hour
