Below: In 2018, the City of
El Reno added a 10-foot, three-dimensional Route 66 sign. The number
66 on the sign is cut out, leaving room for the two RV Gypsies to sit
inside the sign known as "The Mother Road Monument". |

Below: Guardian of the Mother Road located
just off The Mother Road on the west side of El Reno, the two RV Gypsies
came to the 100’ x 128’ 50-foot tall cinder block wall that once served
as a drive-in screen. The mural titled “This Land” on the north side
of the structure was completed in 2014 and features the Oklahoma State
Bird, the scissortail.
OETA filmed Sinnett and his crew during the more than two year process
of painting the 12,800 square foot mural. The process aired on an episode
of Gallery about public art. In addition to his mural projects, Sinnett
continues to exhibit his paintings and prints. Unfortunately, when the
two RV Gypsies were here in 2022, the mural was in condition, as shown
below. |
