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.

Spring is the best time to head south of Dallas to the Palmer/Ennis area to find the bluebonnets in bloom. Met several other plein air painter friends there last week to capture the beauty of our Texas state flower in full bloom. The rancher whose house is in the background came out to visit with us just as we were setting up. There is a designated Bluebonnet Trail in this area and the property owners are more than generous and welcoming.

Someone said that if you are a painter and live it Texas, you HAVE to paint the bluebonnets...it's the law!!!

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.  

"Texas Bluebonnets"

oil on canvas

In spite of our state's record setting heat wave and no rain last summer, we are being rewarded this spring with an incredibly beautiful crop of bluebonnets and other spring wildflowers. Will attach a couple of photos I took a little over a week ago along the 'bluebonnet trail' in Ennis, Texas, where the Outdoor Painters Society will have their April paint out in a couple of weeks. 

"Texas Pickup"

Don't you think the pickup truck should be the official Texas state vehicle! On the highway outside of Lampasas, I spotted this one with cactus planted in the bed of the truck and sitting in a field of spring wildflowers and bluebonnets.
