Painted from a Spring trip to the Texas Hill Country, near Llano, Tx. This season was exceptional for the wildflowers, and the bluebonnets mixed with the cactus made for a painting every where you looked.
This is a commission painted from a photograph of the client's Texas Hill Country Ranch. Can't get any more central Texas than bluebonnets, cactus, and rocky hills. Having the lake on the property is an added bonus.
What is it about tractors that we find so intriguing? Maybe they wouldn't be so appealing if we actually had to use one for work! Saw this one last year on an OPS painting trip in Fredericksburg, Texas.
This is my latest addition to the Texas Moleskin Round-Up project, created especially for Linda Popple's book. Her theme is to paint whatever gives you joy. This scene is looking out over the Texas Hill Country from the highest point in the Fredricksburg area.
While visiting friends in the hill country of central Texas, I spotted this field of thistle on an early morning walk this past Spring. There is a painting around every corner in that area so I know to always have my camera with me. Painted this on a red ground in hopes of subduing so much green.
Thanks for visiting my blog featuring my most recent oil paintings. I have an art degree from Southern Methodist University and spent about 10 years marketing my paintings through museum art shows, decorators and representation at the Dallas Decorative Center. I put the paints aside for a few years to pursue other business and design interests, but most recently have returned to oil painting.
