Texas is my home state, I was born and raised here. I left home after graduating high school and went out to the west coast to attend college. I did not return until my husband (also a native Texan) retired from the Navy in 2006. During our lifetime we’ve had the opportunity of living in many different places. Now that we’re back in Texas to stay, I’ve been doing a series of paintings which depict what life is like here for me. This will be an ongoing series. Texas is such a large and diverse state, it has a lot to offer when it comes to subject matter to compose a painting from.
I’ll never run out of anything to paint because:
- in springtime the bluebonnets line the roads as far as the eye can see.
- the Gulf Coast is naturally gorgeous.
- some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world happen in Texas.
- fall brings out an amazing array of colors here.
- the twisted ribbons of rivers provide an endless source beauty.
- the beautiful explosion of stars in the night sky is something to behold.
- the land is open and free.
- few places have as a rich, storied, and proud history as the Lone Star State.
- there are real cowboys and cattle in Texas.
And that’s just to mention but a few.
