TEXAS LANDSCAPE, LIVE OAK TREE, WINDMILL, FARM AND BLUEBONNETS

A typical Texas landscape, with a beloved Live Oak tree, an old wooden Aeromotor windmill, an old farm, and of course the bluebonnets. Would be officially Texas without the obligatory bluebonnets.

Live Oak Tree and Bluebonnets

Don't know which is more popular here in Texas - the Live Oak trees or the Bluebonnets. Both are a gift and a treat for our eyes. Painted in watercolor, of course.

Texas Landscape Painting

A typical Texas Hill Country landscape, painted in watercolor, of course. Live Oak tree, bluebonnets, windmill and farm. A scene we love, here in Texas.

Texas Landscape Painting with Live Oak Trees and Bluebonnets

I finally got around to making some prints. I found a printer, not too far away, that makes really pretty prints on Futura 100 lb semi-gloss paper. I love them! I decided to start with my favorite landscape, that I painted years ago. The colors on the prints are even brighter and stronger than the colors on the original painting!

Texas Live Oak Tree, Barn and Bluebonnets Watercolor Painting

This is an original watercolor painting of a typical Texas Hill Country scene, with Live Oak trees, an old barn, and Texas Bluebonnets. The size is 5"x7", and it is matted in an 8"x10" beveled white mat. This painting is available on ebay at the moment, but I have others available on my web site, or by commission.

Texas Bluebonnets in Mason Jar Watercolor Painting

I'm always looking for new ways to paint Bluebonnets. They're kinda frustrating to paint, because of all the tiny bits and parts, and the leaves are so small. It's hard not to nitpick with them. But I love to see wildflowers in mason jars. So simple and unpretentious.

Texas Bluebonnet Landscape Painting

This is an 8"x10" watercolor that I just finished. It's an old Texas country cabin, with sheets hanging on the line and bluebonnets blooming along the path. It's a little different than most of my Texas landscapes, because usually I plant a big Live Oak tree in the foreground. This one is simpler and more stylized than usual. I wanted to convey some of the simple, plain scenes that we sometimes still see in rural Texas.

Texas Bluebonnets Watercolor Painting

As I've mentioned, I live in Texas Hill Country, so I'm always working on Bluebonnets. I'm working on a looser, more fluid style - trying new approaches.

I started my own blogspot, too - I'm having so much fun with it:
