"Playing in the Flint Creek," one of the paintings by Margaret Aycock now on display at Living Arts of Tulsa, before it moves to the State Capitol in Oklahoma City next month.
Tulsa artist Margaret Aycock is scheduled to have a one-woman show in the Governor's Gallery of the State Capitol in Oklahoma City beginning July 16.
However, she's giving her hometown a preview of that show beginning Thursday at Living Arts of Tulsa, 307 E. Brady St.
About 30 images make up the show, titled, "Oklahoma: The Place I Call Home."
In Aycock's artist's statement she writes:
"I am a transplant to Oklahoma. I grew up in the Catskill and Adirondack Mountains of New York and then lived on the shores of beautiful South Carolina. It took me years to appreciate Oklahoma’s beauty but now I find my ocean in the tall grass prairie and my green mountains have been replaced by the pink, rocky boulders of Quartz and Wichita Mountains.
"The paintings are those that are close to my heart and close to my home. Included are many paintings from my own back yard flower and vegetable gardens, my favorite swimming holes, an Oklahoma vineyard, Osage farm land, Wichita and Quartz Mountains and the flat lands of the Tall Grass Prairie. I may throw in a portrait or two and a couple of still life paintings for good measure."
The show at Living Arts will be on display through July 10. It will be at the Governor's Gallery through Sept. 16.
