Walk Along the Frio River

The Frio River inside of Garner State Park is like a holy place for me. I have camped along this river as a little boy with my family and brothers. I have walked and camped here as a grandfather with my granddaughter Iris. The feeling is always the same, calm and cleansing of the spirit. I painted this piece this week. More to come.

On Top of Old Baldy

This fall we took our annual trip to Garner State Park near Uvalde. This time was very special because my granddaughter, Iris was with us. She told me later how she loved to camp and would like to live out here in the woods. We saw lots of wildlife including skunks, skunks and more skunks! During the night we were surrounded by them. Large, or small we had all sizes. Iris's dog, Kinggers was smartly very demur and everyone was simpatico every night. Live and let live. One day everyone climbed to the top of Baldy except Iris and I. We had fun doing other stuff. But after the trip I painted this piece for the climbers.
