A Painting Day: Near Stonewall

Near Stonewall

I was heading to the airport after a week of painting in Fredericksburg, Texas and on the way I decided to stop at the LBJ Farm off of Hwy 290. The farm looks as if time has stood still since the early 1900's. It was a serene setting with old barns and outbuildings and an abundance of trees surrounding them. I chose to paint a cluster of old oak trees. Traveling the roads of Texas made for, "A Painting Day".
