A local artist,
Sleepy Read, painted Bluebonnets.
It originally hung in the University's Committee 100 Cafeteria before
being moved to the Chan Shun Centennial Library. In 1999, the picture came
to its present location. The picture hangs on the wall on the landing of
the grand staircase.
The paintings dimensions are 9.5'
x 4.5' (114" x 54").
The frame for this work of art came from
the Mississippi plantation of
Oakley Callicott and was donated to
Southwestern by Rex Callicott. Sleepy Read painted Bluebonnets to fit the
interior of the massive 11.4' x 6.5' (
136.5" x 78")
frame.
