This painting has a serendipitous story behind it. I was delivering a painting to the woman whose family had owned this place up until recently. I asked permission to take photos. I loved the cattle and the barn. So many photos are taken and never used for paintings, but one evening I decided that it was time that I attempted to paint these cattle and their surroundings. This was such a fun painting to create, just sort of fell together! Love when that happens!!

Painting this was the beginning of 3 wonderful days in Junction, Texas, enjoying artist friends, lovely countryside, in a warm inviting Christian environment. Just doesn't get much better. Driving back in to the Great House requires crossing the Llano River. This painting is an adaption of that lovely area.

Spent the morning hanging new work in the Gallerie at Gruene. So very blessed to be a part of such a wonderful gallery and group of artists. Drop by if you are in the area!

A recently commissioned piece and I love it! It says so much about the grandparents' love for each other and how they are loved by their family! The photo reference was taken in the northeast on an apparently misty day. This is my first attempt in recreating a misty shore scene, enjoyed the challenge.

Took the photo reference for this painting at the Phoenix zoo. He looked so relaxed and cool.
