Edgar Payne: The Scenic Journey currently exhibited at Gilcrease Museum

I had a lovely visit to The Gilcrease Museum this weekend to view the exhibit, Edgar Payne:  The Scenic Journey. I highly recommend a personal visit, as I’ve been unable to find most of my favorite images to share with you here.

I especially enjoyed the color palettes of all the individual paintings. Stunning vistas with broad brush strokes were the order of the day and sent my mind wandering.

 Sycamore in Autumn did happen to be one of my favorites and I’m happy to share it here. But I’ll repeat, these in person have movement and grandeur that you can only get in person. Plus with our very mild Oklahoma winter, it’s a great time to take a walk around the grounds and enjoy the views of the Osage Hills as Thomas Gilcrease must have.

I’d like to take the opportunity to suggest that museum passes are a great gift idea. They provide experiences, memories and inspiration without the risk of cluttering space or getting tossed aside after a short period. We’ve given zoo passes as gifts in our family and it’s always a hit.
