This time through Oklahoma, the weather is better than last spring when I was dodging hailstorms and tornados between Arkansas and Texas. We head out Rt 60 to Pawhuska where I paint my favorite painting of the trip. Some nice folks on a farm let me inside their gate for the painting and their teenage daughter watched the whole process. I'm glad I got to paint a horse trailer and farm. It reminded me of Joe and Mary, a lovely couple whose horses I had painted out in the mountain trails of New Mexico.
After painting we went to Bartlesville where Roger discovered the only Frank Lloyd Wright high rise ever built and something he had always wanted to see. There were no tours available but we did get to go up to the top and see a lot of the interior as well as meet a sympathetic docent who gave us a lot of information. Another case of serendipity. By late afternoon, we were on our way to Springfield, MO.
