Juried and Win again in the Texas Watercolor Society!
I am pleased to be juried and win an award for a second year in a row in the Texas Watercolor Society's 67th Annual National Exhibit! My 2014 trip to India was so visually inspirational. This year's winner, Bangalore Street Scene, illustrates the congested city street near the KL Market. Color sparks through the neutrals in this painting capturing the hazy atmosphere. This painting won the Waterloo Watercolor Award, juror Frank Francese. This show runs April 1 - May 25, 2016 at the New Braunfels Art League Gallery, 239 W. San Antonio St, New Braunfels, Texas.

Historical Montage commission for hotel lobby
I was commissioned to research and paint a montage of the history of Seguin, Texas for the new Holiday Inn Express lobby in Seguin, Texas in November 2008. It is located at 2801 Jay Road, Seguin, Texas 78155. The focal point is Colonel Juan N. Seguin who helped lead Texas's struggle for independence against Mexico. Seguin, Texas is rich in history and charm, with a blending of a multi-cultural past progressing towards the future. This painting travels the journey of the Texas Rangers founding of the community along the Guadalupe River, through the influx of new arrivals on popular stagecoach and train routes, to residents finding prosperity and home through the rich land and innovative ideas.
