Reflections on the Maple Trail

Landscape of Lost Maples

************************************************************

Have you ever hiked Lost Maples Natural Area in Vanderpool, Texas? I went hiking there last fall and that's where I found this scene. I started out by hiking the Maple Trail. Not too far down the path, I found a footbridge with immense rocks on both sides. To the right, I spotted a long ridge of colorful trees. When I crossed the bridge, I noticed that below and to the right, water, boulders, and distant tree-lined hills marked the horizon. The bright sight of orange, red, and yellow hardwood trees dotted my view as well. Meanwhile, I couldn't help but also notice the sunlit reflections of the water displaying the blue sky and the shimmery images of the elephant-like rocks in the pond. It was an image that I photographed, and that stuck with me for months. I had photos of this landscape in my studio with the intention that I'd get around to painting it eventually. I have studied the photos off and on since last November. Last week, I took the plunge and started painting. I remembered the crisp, cool air and the pungent aura of decomposing leaves beneath my feet. I heard the laughter and chatter of my fellow hikers and the giddy sense of a holiday. It felt quite liberating! Now that the zenith of the summer heat is upon me, I am looking forward to October and the welcoming cooler temperatures. I'll emerge from my summer cocoon like a butterfly and journey into the World of Autumn.

How do you spell f-u-n? It all starts with a recipe for success that includes the ingredients and mix of an art show, friends, and refreshments. I experienced all of that at my Summer Seasons Art Show at The Rim in San Antonio, Texas, last week on Wednesday evening, July 28th, 2010. Wine Styles hosted my art show and reception in their gallery at the store's location at 17503 La Cantera Pkwy., Ste 115.

To all my friends, a BIG thanks for coming out to the show and reception! There was a good turn-out and sale. I appreciated all the kudos and conversation! It was a memorable night in the life of this artist!!!

My next art event will take place later this month on Saturday, August 21st, from 10 to 4, at the New Braunfels HEIST Art Festival. It's sponsored by the 764 West Frame Shop of New Braunfels and the Schertz Arts Council. I'll be located in Booth # 17 with my tent and artwork. Hope you can join me and about 20 other artists for the show!

HAPPY SUMMER!
