An America 250 mural in McAlester, Oklahoma, featuring a giant Coca-Cola bottle and cowboy over an American flag.

Cowboy in a Bottle

McAlester, OK

This striking design fuses Americana, pop culture, and Western imagery to celebrate national pride and local identity. Set against the American flag and the America250 logo, a massive vintage Coca‑Cola bottle holds a resting cowboy—a nostalgic nod to McAlester’s heritage. The artwork marries timeless Coke branding with a modern, high-contrast aesthetic. By isolating the central subject on a powerful, patriotic background, the piece serves as a visual time capsule: a celebration of 250 years of the American spirit, preserved and refreshed through a custom made Oklahoman point of view.

The Artist

Bailee Green

As an artist, I seek to transform human ideas into expressions that resonate with beauty, purpose, emotion, and the natural world. My work is designed to enrich spaces—whether in the home or business—by creating a deeper connection between the viewer and the art.” My artist name BAILEETHEKID has multiple meanings. The first is influenced by my late grandfather, Billy Green, who instilled my love for Marty Robbins, classical country, and storytelling. The name is a play on the infamous ‘Billy The Kid’. Yet deeper than that, my artistic ability always came from Bailee (the kid version). Each piece I get to create is my inner child opening a window from my soul, that is all she was meant to do, create. So what a gift it is that I am growing into the adult who can live as Bailee The Kid.
