Boone Garden - #51011

8 x 10 inches Oil on canvas



Gilgrease had a plein air paint out while I was visiting my brother in Tulsa in April. I thoroughly enjoy the museum, and it was an exquisite spring late afternoon when we started painting. Louise Biggs was facilitating and so terrific. I'm sorry I missed seeing Margaret Aycock who is her good friend and posts regularly on her daily painting blog. Next year Margaret!
