Ivan Painton - Orion, Okla.

"Glad to hear you (OkieLegacy Ezine) is still in business. I was looking for some information on Ivan Painton. I found his name in an old book and thought he would be good for our television program, Discover Oklahoma, but I learned from your website that he is deceased. Too bad. Anyway, I found your site fascinating. I hope you have as much fun writing it as I did reading it. There is a book called Oklahoma Travel Handbook, published by University of Oklahoma Press in 1977, by Kent Ruth, that talks about Ivan Painton's store & gallery in Orion (Oklahoma) and calls him an "internationally recognized painter" and rock artist. I thought he would be a great television story... but, alas, as I discovered, he is no longer with us and the store apparently does not exist anymore. I think the book is also out of print. You may be able to find a copy on the internet somewhere or in some musty Oklahoma used book store." -- Ron S.   |  View or Add Comments (1 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
