New blog post started today, The Paseo at Doug Dawgz Blog: The Paseo . It will be considerably expanded, but, aside from much of the text, here are some of the pics I took yesterday at a great place in The Paseo called, JRB Art At The Elms, 2810 N. Walker (at the south end of The Paseo) -- #17 in the above map.

The Elms was built in 1920 as the resident studio/gallery of Dr. and Mrs. Nan Sheets (1885-1976). Nan Sheets moved to Oklahoma City with her husband in 1912 and her history with the arts in Oklahoma and Oklahoma City is legendary -- to be covered in a separate "hero" blog post later. The Elms has been restored to its original purpose by Joy Reed Belt, owner and director of JRB Art at The Elms.

Here are some of the pics from yesterday evening ... 1024 px wide images are available in the blog post.
