BIKIN’ THRU BEAUMONT

The Jefferson Theater, built in 1927, is in Downtown Beaumont, Texas and "Baby The Rain Must Fall" was filmed in Southeast Texas in 1964. I'm told that Country Singer George Jones ushered there, also that the World Premier's of "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Babe" were held there and that Steve McQueen lived in Beaumont for a short time. Any resemblance to Steve on the Motorcycle is purely intentional!

BIRD BATH

Christmas 1994. This concrete Birdbath is one we've had for several years and in fact made the move from Austin to the Ranch with us. It sits out in the yard in view from our Kitchen and Dining Room and has delighted us with the variety of birds and other animals it has attracted over the years. One day as we were eating lunch, I happened to glance up and see a cardinal on the birdbath, getting a drink, I thought that, there was a Painting, just waiting to be painted and this is the result. I am forever amazed at the simple things that we take for granted every day that can be an inspiration at any given moment and sincerely believe that if everyone would look for some little inspiration or thing to be thankful for each day, that we would all be happier and our burdens would be much easier to bear!

BIRDS AND BUDS

I've been wanting to do a painting with Redbud for years and finally got the idea I've been waiting for. Normally I paint a bright colored bird in a subdued scene and this time I reversed the process with these subtly colored Mourning Doves against the brightly colored Redbuds.
