Picture Palo Duro this summer

If your summer travel plans take you near Palo Duro Canyon, [near Amarillo, Texas] I hope you will consider stopping by the Plains Museum in Canyon, Texas and take in the show entitled "Picturing Palo Duro" which will be on display through October 8.


I am pleased to have a photo in that show (along with all the real artists) who have been inspired by the Canyon for the last 125 years. The photo is entitled "Closer Than They Appear."
This is the photo that won a First Prize at the Texas State Fair and I believe has been up on the blog, but it has now achieved a higher level of prominence.
I drove there recently to see it on the wall -- What a thrill….
The "Lent by the Artist" on the identifying placard made me feel almost like a real one. And to have it in a real museum in the company of famous folks was really special.
The museum guards also told me that viewers really liked the photo. Now they might just have been trying to make me feel good, but it made my day.

You go, Lorlee. -- TB
