Early Friday morning I was driving son to school when I saw a flash of red berries as I turned on Riverside drive here in Tulsa. I took Logan to school and then drove back to the river, parked and walked down to where I saw the berries. The early morning sun was shining full on and I took the pic with my cell phone and posted it to Instagram.
Every once in a while you have to take a little time off to check things out.

Appeal to the Great Spirit is a sculpture in Tulsa’s popular Woodward Park. I redid my digital photo using Topaz Labs Impression program using one of the “Colored Pencil” effects.

This is a Topaz Labs Impressions modified photograph of part of Eric Baker’s “Oklahoma Autumn” installation” at Philbrook Museum of Art‘s Gardens. It is made of steel, agate, and kiln fired glass and is absolutely beautiful and I always have to go check it out whenever I visit the museum. I used Topaz’s Impressions to give “swirly” the photo a little bit.

Sorry folks, if you visit Philbrook and don’t check out the gardens you are missing out.

This is a mural at Living Arts Space in Tulsa. It is part of the their “Day of the Dead” activities every year. You can read more about Dia De Los Muertos by following the link.
They change the murals ever year and I love them despite the morbid subject matter. You can’t tell the scale of the murals by looking at them but they are huge. Here is one from last year.

Last Friday was my day off. We had family business to attend to in Oklahoma City so made the trek down the Turner Turnpike. After we had our business done we visited the The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. It used to be called the “The Cowboy Hall of Fame” and that is what almost everybody in Oklahoma calls it but you know times change.
The “End of the Trail” sculpture right at the entrance is huge, beautiful, and haunting. I never get tired of looking at it.
I love their Abraham Lincoln sculpture.
They have a huge collection of western art and lots of information about western life and cowboy culture. I love this cavalryman and his horse in full charge.
I am always looking for new things. I had never noticed this blanket before.
If you find yourself in Oklahoma City with a few hours to spare and are interested in all things western then go check it out.
