Bartlesville Oklahoma Buffalo Fundraiser Project

The Bartlesville Girls Scouts of America adopted a fund raising project to raise funds for the Mary Martha Mission here in our town. There have been several area artists basically donating their time to paint these buffalo and place them around town. Oh, when I heard about it I was overjoyed because I have always loved a good art project. 



One of my best friends, Carolyn Mock was asked to paint a buffalo to be placed at Woolaroc Museum.
Carolyn labored long and hard for many
many weeks on this beauty.  She took
it's design into consideration and deliberated
on how to make the museum and the sponsors
proud of it....

 She decided on the White Buffalo
that is a scared symbol to the Native American Indians. 


Carolyn did a very beautiful job and the blanket on the buffalo is a painting of the mosaic around the doors to the Woolaroc museum.

Then this one is celebrating the much celebrated Price Tower in Bartlesville

It is the only skyscraper ever designed by 

Frank Lloyd Wright that was built.

This one is in honor of the musical play

OKLAHOMA

This buffalo celebrates the airplane the Woolaroc that won

the Dole race in the 1920's  that resides inside the Woolaroc Museum 

This buffalo is pretty self explainatory, we are proud of our country and all it stands for here in Bartlesville as well as our state of Oklahoma.

This bison is celebrating our great plains and the bison that roamed the prairies here years ago,

and honoring the Tall Grass Prairie Preserve west of Pawhuska where the buffalo once again roam thanks to their

efforts to preserve a portion of the TallGrass.

and then we have this one....
