To effectively write a body paragraph about Georgia O'Keeffe's time in New Mexico that influenced her dramatic images of desert scenery, the student should include the following facts:

  1. In 1940, O'Keeffe moved to a settlement called Ghost Ranch, north of Santa Fe.
  2. After O'Keeffe's husband died, she moved to her desert home full-time.
  3. O'Keeffe first visited New Mexico in 1929.

These facts highlight O'Keeffe's connection to New Mexico, her commitment to living there, and her initial introduction to the region, all of which are significant in understanding the inspiration behind her artwork. The fact about her husband staying in New York, while relevant to her personal life, is less directly tied to her artistic development in New Mexico.
