Philbrook Museum Festival of the Trees 2012

Last Sunday we loaded up the whole family including visitors Uncle Bob and Gramps and headed out to Philbrook Museum of Art's Festival of the Trees.

It is a fund raiser held every year. Various artists put together trees for sale. Lots of creativity in play here.

Here is a tree for skiers.

Little trees, big trees, trees everywhere.

The Girl Scouts and other organizations make gingerbread houses. I always look forward to them.

Again, very creative and original

SPB did not care for the Barbie Doll Gingerbread house.

I loved the bubblegum roof on this.

This has a little bit of a Scandinavian air about it.

We looked at the rest of the museum and saw some old favorites like "The Blue Kimono" by William Merritt Chase painted nearly 100 years ago.

That looks like a fabulous exhibition and one that would appeal to me. SPB takes after Sweetie but you can tell where you and brother Bob get your handsome looks from! You're like three peas in a pod.

The Portland Museum of Art has a Cristo decorated tree. Always fun to look at over the holidays.

What a fun day for all of you! Beautiful festival!! All of you seem to be having a great time and I always love the shots of SPB! All of you "GUYS" look so much alike!! Have a great weekend!!

Lots of creativity and ideas for the holidays on those trees and I always like gingerbread houses. But the Barbies are too much for me also. Love the newest "teenager" exhibit.

Gosh, I haven't been to the Tree thing in years. I really need to go again. A friend has a painting for sale there. SPB is growing like a weed, wow!

Janie said...

I love gingerbreat houses. You saw some great ones at the museum, but I don't blame SPB for not being crazy about the barbie gingerbread house.
Wow, SPB is sure getting tall. Sweetie is looking short beside him.

Martha Z said...

It looks like fun.
I can't believe how tall SPB is, he is as tall as his Gramps and uncle and dwarfs his mom.

I really like the latest addition to the sculpture collection, but I suppose "Reclining Teenager" was merely on loan from a local resident.

SandyCarlson said...

The reclining teenager is one-of-a-kind and priceless! There's some serious creativity at work in your neighborhood!

Jonni Baloney said...

Thanks for the reminder! I always forget to go.

I wish I lived closer to Tulsa as I would dearly love to see the festival of trees. That reclining teenager is an amazing sculpture!
