This piece toured with the Art of TX Parks show to many museums throughout Texas 2023-25 and is included in the coffee table TAMU Press book that accompanies the show. It is newly available at Foltz Fine Art in Houston.
It was both an honor to be chosen one of 30 TX State Park Centennial artists as well as to paint this first state park in Texas. This little park is so well loved. Singing birds, humming bees, and the muffled voices of people enjoying being outdoors accompanied my painting sessions. I was always amazed at the full campground, the day use hikers from college kids, retirees, families from nearby Fort Cavazos(formally Hood), and the community. With the constantly changing color progression of wildflowers, grasses, cedars, and sumac, it was hard to choose which painting to include in the exhibit. Ultimately, I feel that this painting, “Springtime! - Mother Neff SP Prairie Restoration”, captures the feeling of the prairie restoration area, the light, the color, and the movement in the landscape. For me, this park show was a thank you to the state of Texas for providing public land preserved and enjoyed.
