Returning to the show is Thomas Blackshear II. We recorded this episode at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City during the Prix de West. Moments before Thomas sat down to join us, he won the Museum Purchase Award, one of the top honors at the Prix de West. We usually sit down with the winner of this award after it is announced, and we were happy to continue that tradition with a friend of the podcast. Thomas talks about his award-winning piece and what it means to have the painting be part of the museum's permanent collection. See the full exhibition through August 4, 2024.
