This is a special note to you that owned pieces of
my work that were lost in hurricane Ike in 2008 I
know I sold many watercolors of places and things around Bolivar
Peninsula and seabirds, etc. that were lost in the hurricane. I
probably don't have the exact pictures anymore except some of the prints
of the Elissa and the lighthouse on Bolivar, but I sure can paint
more. I hope that if you are rebuilding on crystal beach or
Galveston, you will contact me about painting some replacement
pictures. I surely will work with you on the pictures and the
price of them. I am a member of the River
Art Group (RAG) in San Antonio, Texas. The RAG has been around
since 1947. The RAG has our own co-op gallery located in the La
Villita area near the river walk in San Antonio. We have over 300
members who all live and work in the San Antonio area. Each year
the RAG holds a member competition in which all members can enter up to
3 pieces of their recent work in the competition. This includes
painting (oils, acrylics, watercolors, mixed media, etc.), collage,
pottery, glass, jewelry, fabrics, wood and wood carving, etc. This
year I entered one of my 2011 paintings "Gateway to the Laguna
Madre". Our judges are non members of the RAG and are
generally other artists, gallery owners, art instructors, etc. My
watercolor was awarded Best Of Show. This is, for me, is a very
prestigious award that I am very proud of. The framed
picture is 34" X 27" and is for sale. Cost of the
picture is $ 800.
HOWDY! I am an old geezer who grew up
on the Texas coast and lived there most
of my life. I was a lifelong pen and
ink artist until I became enamored with
watercolors about 25 years ago. I
seldom do anything else now. Maybe it
sounds strange, but Mary Ann and I now
live in the Texas hill country where I
have my studio on top of a hill and I
continue to paint seascapes, shrimp
boats, seabirds, and lighthouses. I am
beginning to paint some of the hills,
barns, goats, cactus, and chickens
around here in the hill country, but I
will always go back to the coast to
paint what I have painted all my
life. I hope you enjoy looking at some
of my work and if you have questions or
you are interested in purchasing some of
my work, please E-Mail me. I'll try to
change these pictures when I have time
and give you some new ones to look at. I will continue to go to art shows
around the state and exhibit, but this
internet sure makes it easier than
driving all over the state and setting
up in wind, rain, heat, cold, tornadoes, etc. Send
me your comments if you will. I would appreciate it if you would sign my
guest book and let me know what you think about my work, your work,
whether it rained today or not, if you are wearing your favorite blue
shirt today, or whatever else might pop into your mind that you would
like to unload on me. I quit taking credit cards for a while
and now I am again taking Visa, Master Charge, American Express and
Discover credit cards. I now have several
Giclee' reproductions. These reproductions are printed on similar
or the same watercolor paper I painted the original paintings on.
They are "state of the art" reproductions that, if they were
not different size than the original paintings, it would be hard to tell
them from the original paintings. I just added a couple
of "new" watercolors at the end of the "Sea and
Boats" gallery. I have a bunch more done but I
hate taking all the time it takes to put stuff into the web page - I
would rather be painting, picking my banjo, or watching the hills out
here. I just exhibited at the 35th Official Texas Arts and Crafts
Fair in Kerrville, Texas, Memorial day weekend, as I
have the past few years. This was a good show, with only Texas
artists. I think the show is limited (by jurying) to about
200 artists, so only the finest Texas artists exhibit there. At
this show on Friday night there is always a preview showing with
wine tasting, etc. I
hope you can come visit with me there some year - I plan to be there
every year. I will be entering some
more shows during the year and I will let you know where and when in
this area of my web site. I recently (last year) exhibited at the Rockport, Texas Art Festival on July 3 & July 4.
I didn't go this year because it is always so hot and everything I own
is full of sand when I get back, but I will probably apply again in the
future. We had a good show down there.
