I absolutely loved my visit to this little art museum. I got a 1:1 guided tour from cowboy docent Lonnie, and it was fantastic. Lonnie holds a wealth of information and intrigue, and as he walks with you through the museum, he enriches the experience of the art tenfold. We discussed technique, style, history, and the feelings that the art evokes. We studied color, historical accuracy, and the artist's intent. I learned so much, and I felt completely comfortable asking questions, proposing ideas, and sharing observations. Lonnie is a gem, and the cowboy art throughout the museum is beautiful and fascinating. I especially like that they've recreated the studios of a couple of the artists and that there's a whole section with historical objects, in addition, of course to the paintings, sculptures, and drawings. Plus there's a whole display about cowgirls, which is a delight! Honestly this was significantly more awesome than I expected, and I encourage anyone who is looking for an art experience that's slightly off the beaten path to make a visit. Thank you, Lonnie and Phippen Museum!
