This small, isolated patch of bluebonnets seemed to be humming themselves into an afternoon nap, but they roused themselves to nod at me when I joined them in a secluded niche beneath an old cedar tree in Texas Hill Country. This small painting is as much about sunlight filtering through the tangle of grass and leaves as it’s about the restful blue flowers. The intricate detail along with the delicate interplay of color and texture invites you to lean in closer and join us beneath this tree.

This small varnished watercolor embodies a quiet appreciation for the renewal spring brings, reminding us to pause and savor the simple joys that surround us. A few bluebonnets, not a pasture full.

It’s a perfect addition to any space, bringing a touch of the Texas landscape indoors. But to a Texan, this is also a portrait of cherished memories to warm a wall.

It's wired for hanging, but also suitable for display on a table easel or shelf.
