Private collection in Lexington, Kentucky.

 

A customer of ours, (who happens to be from Texas, loves Milbie's work, and owns an oil company, as well), told me she wished Milbie would put an oil derrick in one of her Texan landscapes. She said she'd searched for years for a painting that reminded her of 'home' and depicted the family oil business, but never found the right painting. Milbie, she said, truly captures the beauty of the bluebonnets and mesquite trees, and with an oil derrick, it would be perfect!
'Very simple fix!', I told her. I simply emailed Milbie her idea: customer requests a painting depicting a typical Texan landscape with an oil derrick.
A few months later.......this arrived!
And our customer declared it 'perfect'!
