Argiope spider

I recently joined the website DailyPaintWorks.com and simultaneously (almost) decided to paint a small series of native Texas insects.  I wanted these small paintings to feel like the Mughal miniatures that I love so much.

Towards the Deeper Woods

I used to play in the woods on our family farm all the time when growing up.  My brothers and I  spent many hours exploring and imagining all sorts of adventures.  This area at the Trinity River Audubon Center is a favorite spot for me as it closely resembles the wooded area of my childhood.
