  1. I think I've seen these in person! Aren't they at the art museum in OKC?

    Absolutely beautiful.

  2. Like Thomas Kincade if his art had any, you know, actual meaning.



    That was maybe a little harsh. You get what i mean though.

  3. All four are in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, though there are surely copies to be found in many places.

    Thomas Cole was once quite popular, though for modern tastes he walks that fine line between art and kitsch :-) There is still something inspiring about his work.
