When I picked up the O’Keeffe book at the used bookstore recently, I was expecting to be influenced by paintings of leaves and flowers and those bones. I was not expecting the image of The Plums (1920) to remain with me so strongly. So far, I have only purchased 1 plum. We’ll see what the future holds.

One morning I purchased a single plum. It was an impulse buy. I haven’t eaten plums in years but I thought I might use the fruit as inspiration. In the end, it was my antidote for mounting procrastination. You see, I had a project due soon. Amazing how strong the urge to take a long walk when you need to stay seated and finish a writing assignment. I couldn’t go for a walk but …

… I decided I could rise from my chair on occasion and take a photo of the plum. I did so throughout the afternoon. No fine art produced but the movement was a release of sorts.

When I finished the writing assignment, I ate the plum, a final dose of a sweet treat that helped me stay focused just enough. I think I might buy an apple today!

… that since yesterday’s post, still no plums have I eaten, but a friend did share a poem. 😉
This Is Just To Say
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
