After finishing the Topo painting, I wanted to try doing more traditional landscapes. I was afraid to start, I think because I wanted it to work so bad. It took me a while to finally get up the courage, but a few weeks later I had three complete paintings and two sold immediately!

I want to do more landscapes and recently went on a research mission: camping & hiking at Enchanted Rock State Natural Area. It’s one of my favorite parks in Texas because of the spectacular views and variety of wildlife. The rock itself is an unusual pink granite dome that rises 425 feet above the surrounding land. Many birds and animals can be spotted in the park and my first night I was treated to a chorus of coyotes!
