Palm Springs Art Museum

It was a free day yesterday so we took advantage of it.  It's so nice to see the Rowan Hotel in the space across from it and downtown Palm Springs was chock full of people.  Obviously businesses were doing well.

We do love this horse made of driftwood.  Somehow we never tire of looking at it and it's in a much better place now amongst the western themed art.

This was a new display...it was fun to see these old clips of westerns that we watched as kids.  I'm sure they were in black and white.  We're pretty sure we did visit "Pioneertown".  Jim has a recollection of a bookstore there that had the complete Oxford English Dictionary.

Another new display.  It was interesting to read about the restoration process of this painting.

These are the studies he did on location for the painting.

And finally,  the painting,  with some of the restoration materials.
