Spring: New Beginnings 

IMG_0746-3

The Round Rock ArtSpace had an art show this afternoon to celebrate Spring and New Beginnings.  The intent was to celebrate “themes related to spring, growth, new beginnings and change”.  I liked the art.  My favorite piece below with the funky birds was called “Angel Garden” by Kristin Kim.  The show inspired me to strike out on a walk around the local neighborhood as the sun was beginning to set. I just caught some new Springtime tree blossoms as the tree limbs were blowing in the wind with a beautiful sunset in the distance.  I think this brief moment was on point with the celebration that ArtSpace had meant for us to enjoy.

Frank Reaugh – Landscapes of Texas and the American West

IMG_6599

Frank Reaugh led a very interesting life.  His passion was documenting the Southwest by using pastels and paint.  The exhibit at the Harry Ransom Center had several of his art pieces on display.  Just imagine getting the chance to travel with him and watch his plein air process of painting the countryside and animals in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

The Round Rock ArtSpace had their First Thursday Art Reception this evening, and it featured Día de los Muertos art and artists.  My favorite painting was called “Bella Catrina” by Jennifer Estes.  Also, if you find yourself near Round Rock this Saturday, there will be a celebration downtown in the evening.
