Two paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe (a descriptive paragraph)

These paintings by Georgia O’Keeffe seem to have deep similarities and yet differences at the same time. They hold so much more than they show the eye of the lay mind. Abstraction White Rose makes the impression of a forming dream, a whirling mist or an ever-changing emotion. Shell No. I is more likely a defined reality, a directly painted phenomenon, a hard and pure case, which can still hide and protect its innermost world. Whereas representing visual manifestation of rhymes, these paintings mirror each other. This kind of 'mirroring' is not simply a repeated version of a former picture: the dark blues, the turquoise shadows and the yellow lights on the images could be seen as siblings from the same parents, or more likely lovers bonded by mutual affection. Both of them symbolise the elusiveness of existence, the mystery and the paradoxes of perception.
