influence of location

My style and imagination (not to mention my confidence and belief in
myself) have just exploded since I've started working at Stretch's
Gallery (Yes, I know! I keep talking about the goddamned place!), it
got me thinking about Georgia O'Keefe's painting stle. When she lived
in NYC with her husband, Alfred, her paintings were dark and menacing.
but when she decided to move out to NM. her style just exploded. How
many of you encountered a similiar thing? What was the situation at the
time? How far did you come since you've changed location? Would you go
back to the old place? It doesn't have to be just the location but the
place that you work in. Warmly, Kathryn in NC with a good cuppa!
