Volume 34, Number 47 Thursday, November 29, 2018 In Pursuit of O’Keeffe by Linda Weigel “The meaning of a word – to me – is not as exact as the meaning of a color.

I was attracted During the initial walk-through, my Continued on Page 2 mind and heart were overwhelmed with the amount of art and the vast variety of it, almost to the point where I could barely process what I encountered. Regardless, my eye did latch on to O’Keeffe. By the time we left, I became determined to learn more about her and her artwork, a challenge that continues up to last month’s pilgrimage to New Mexico to discover more about her and the land she loved. What was it that captivated me over decades to pursue this particu- lar artist? Initially, it was a purely visceral response to the work. Then, my curiosity sought answers to her artistic development. Furthermore, I couldn’t stop thinking about her as a person, wondering how her art reached the point where it was col- lected internationally and revered by so many artists and non-artists alike. My attraction to her work can be summed up in what was to become my classroom mantra over the course of a teaching career – The Four I’s.

If you plan to visit her Abiquiu home/studio, you would need to make a special advance reservation. I especially enjoyed exploring other ar- eas surrounding Santa Fe, where tradi- tional values and forms still exist much as O’Keeffe would have experienced. Despite vast urban growth in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, there are still pockets of earlier neighborhoods and wide open spaces with little commercial development, and outside of town those broad open vistas with incred- ible blue skies. “Grey Hill Forms,” a 1936 oil on canvas, Museum of Art Santa Fe. After visiting her home/studio and traveling/ walking among the towns and countryside she walked, I now feel as though I have a better sense of who Georgia O’Keeffe was as an artist. I realize, too, that I will never fully understand everything about her, and I am comfortable with that. What I do comprehend is that the land and people who inhabit it are so uniquely and in- credibly different from the region in which she grew up, and the East Coast she enjoyed in her early years. The wide open spaces are wondrous and visually inviting. I can see in her New Mexico landscapes true echoes of the nat- ural formations and striations of geologic/or- ganic forms found in those broad regions near her home.

O’Keeffe was not alone in her love of this land. New Mexico has drawn multitudes of artists, writers, poets, painters, sculp- tors and fi lmmakers for many years, and continues to infl uence new genera- tions. The physical atmosphere, the vis- tas, the cultural mixing of Anglo, His- panic and Native American, along with particularly attractive organic architec- ture, provide a heady combination cer- tain to attract a soulful seeker such as Georgia O’Keeffe.

Do you have shoulder pain with any of the following day-to-day activities? • Reaching Overhead? • Reaching into the Back Seat? • Reaching Behind Your Back? • While You Sleep?

Dear Fellow NW Indiana Resident,

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, you surely know shoulder pain can be such a menace…

It can ruin a good nights sleep…and when you lack sleep, you get cranky.

It can change the way you put on your shirt…or for the ladies, your bra…because it’s just too painful to do it the way you used to.

It can stop you from enjoying daily simple tasks…making you frustrated…forcing you to take more pain pills than you would care to admit.

And for golfers out there…it can ruin your game…getting scores you’re too embarrassed to tell…your friends are probably wondering why you even care to play!

Is your rotator cuff the culprit? The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles that run from our shoulder blade into the top end of our bone in our arm. They help keep the ball end of our arm bone centered in the shoulder socket.

When healthy, the rotator cuff allows us to reach in all directions smoothly and without pain.

If you experience pain, weakness or difficulty during the tests mentioned here, it is highly likely you are suffering from a rotator cuff tear. 1. This first test is called the Drop Arm Test. With your arm relaxed by your side, turn your arm out so your thumb faces directly to the side. Slowly raise your arm to the side, then slowly lower the arm. Test is positive if the arm suddenly drops or you experience severe pain on the way up or down. 2. The Lateral Jobe Test. In this test for the right shoulder, raise your right arm out to the side by lifting your right elbow to 90 degrees, with your hand hanging down, fingers pointed to the

PAID ADVERTISEMENT THE November 29, 2018 Page 23

ground, your thumb pointing to your tummy. With your left hand, push down on the right arm just above the elbow. Test is positive if you experience pain or weakness. 3. The 3rd test is called Lift-Off Test. The hand of the affected arm is placed on the lower back. Now try lifting the hand off the back without straightening your elbow. Test is positive if you’re unable to lift the hand off.

Now you may be asking…can a rotator cuff tear heal and pain subside without medications, injections or surgery?

In most cases, yes…but it depends on, but not limited, to the following factors. • What is the grade of the tear? There are 3 grades. • Which of the 4 muscles of the rotator cuff is torn? • How old is the tear? • FREE Rotator Cuff And Shoulder Pain Workshop Due to overwhelming requests from the NW Indiana community, Orthopedic and Balance Therapy Specialists will host our Rotator Cuff and Shoulder Pain Workshop on the following dates and locations: • Tuesday 6 PM December 11, 2018, at our LaPorte office (1405 E. Lincolnway, Suite B) • Thursday 6 PM December 13, 2018, at our Valparaiso office (3125 Calumet Ave., Suite 8) Here’s what you’ll learn during the workshop: • Know which rotator cuff muscle is affected and the grade of the tear • Correct the cause of your pain and speed up the healing process • Prevent your shoulder from getting worse, and avoid the single biggest mistake shoulder pain sufferers make

Due to the interactive nature of this workshop, there are only 20 spots available for each location. To hold your spot, please call: • (219) 380-0809 in LaPorte • (219) 202-2500 in Valparaiso
