I had a nice reference for the longhorn, but had to improvise the landscape and bluebonnets.</div>

Another piece inspired by photos take near Eagle Lake on the 90 Alternate southwest of Houston.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you live in the Houston area and have never made this drive, I highly recommend it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Drive it when the wildflowers are out and you will not be disappointed.</div>

This was painted using brush work mixed with palette knife about 50/50. Very loose and spontaneous work with bold color. I used photos taken on the 90 Alternate between Richmond and Eagle Lake. Lots of nice ranch land on that route.</div>
