The small village of Abiquiu, New Mexico, was Georgia O’Keefe’s home for the last decades of her life, according to resident Napoleon Garcia, who toured my workshop group around the town. Abiquiu is a colorful mix of adobe structures, both solid and crumbling, and remains home to a number of artists. Napoleon would be happy to give you an intimate tour. Nearby are magnificent vistas that inspired many of O’Keefe’s paintings, as well as Casa Blanca, a spectacular white walled canyon.
 
I didn’t ask Napoleon if the famous artist attended local religious services, but if she did then she must have frequented this outhouse, which sits adjacent to—or perhaps one should say downwind of—the mission church that sits atop the bluff above town. If these walls had ears what might they have heard from the legendary artist?
