I have created a blog devoted to a series of paintings I am doing of San Antonio's Alamo, the "Cradle of Texas Liberty".

Welcome, Visitors--oil, 8x10"
The second in the series. My intention with the series is, in part, to experiment with different painting styles and approaches, use intuitive color, and have fun.
I was born in a hospital a couple of blocks from the Alamo, just above the River Walk (The same hospital George Strait and Carol Burnett were born in). Some of my earliest memories are of the Alamo and downtown San Antonio. I live elsewhere in Texas now, but for all Texans the Alamo is a beloved symbol of Texas independence.
I am working from one or two photographs I took of the Alamo, to see how many different ways I can paint it. I hope to go back and photograph more from different angles and with different lighting situations.
