Although he died in 2008, the legacy of watercolorist Lowell Ellsworth Smith is one that is sure to stand the test of time. Opened on May 27 at the delightful National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, “Lowell Ellsworth Smith: My Theology of Painting” will explore the award-winning artist’s “deeply personal artistic interpretations concerning his varied subject matter,” the museum writes. Highlights from the exhibition include more than 20 watercolor portrait and landscape studies inspired by the American West and Mexico.
