Arton12.com – A New Gallery Partner

As of January 1, I became a partner in Art on 12 – A Texas Destination Gallery

Along with Roger McBee, we hope to use our skills in marketing and web design to improve our presence on the web and make our gallery known for its broad range of arts and artistic talents.

Art on 12 is situated in the heart of Central Texas, in Wimberley. Our city has been designated a Texas Cultural District by the Texas Commission on the Arts. Our gallery is a destination for all those who wish to experience the rich heritage of Texas. Meet our local, regional, and nationally known artists, many of whom reside in our small town or live close by.

Come experience the flavor of this unique artists’ community. We have over 14 galleries that participate in our Saturday Gallery Trail. Experience Southern hospitality with wine, beer, hor d’ouevres, and meet many of the artists.

What makes our gallery special is not just the high quality of talent in our local community, but also we feature art by such nationally know artists as Maxine Price, Debra Steidel, Gary Oakley, and Soon Warren.

Southwest Vista Sold to Benefit the Bold Beauty Project!

This painting was from a dream I had. It was experimental in the use of Acrylics diluted to the consistency of watercolors. There is a set of houses on the outcrop with a wonderful view of the landscape.

So I Have a Competitor

My wife, Leigh, has recently taken up painting… Now she has done craft painting for years, but this past year she started painting with my mom when we visit my parents in Florida. My mom has painted for years and Leigh is taking lessons. She did 4 paintings in 8 days, mostly acrylics. But from the comments she is getting on Facebook, I think she may be more popular than me 🙂 Judge for yourself! The only thing I can say is that she copies other artists for now, so they can’t be sold, just enjoyed 🙂

Rock Creek Park, TN

Visited my oldest in TN last year and went with the granddaughters to Rock Creek Park, TN for some hiking. Took a really cool picture of tall trees in the mist. This is day 2 of the painting.

Blake and Me and the Doodle Bird

My grandson, Blake, is 3 years old and was visiting from Pittsburgh with my youngest son and family. My son asked me to have Blake doodle on a canvas and then for me to make a painting out of it. It isn’t finished yet, but I started following his lines with colors on my palette. What do you think it is becoming? 🙂 DoodleBird
