John Knox Ranch is a Presbyterian camp southwest of Wimberley that is just gorgeous!  Nestled along the Blanco River, it has 300 acres of beautiful Texas Hill Country scenery.  A group of us were invited to paint out there, and had a great time - We plan to return when the weather is better.  The Treehouse sits in a tree, 20-30 feet above the ground (reminds me of zipline platforms in Central America, only better constructed), overlooking Blue Hole, the spring-fed swimming hole in a creek.  Although the landscape was amazing, I am always drawn to the architecture!  Can't wait to return.

A cold, windy day forced me to paint from the cab of my truck.  Since parking is limited at the Wimberley Square, I painted what landed in front of me.  This is one end of the Old Mill Store - Not a bad place to land!

While walking through Silverton Colorado a few years back, I was captured by the two tracks that vanish through the town into the mountain backdrop.  If you've never driven the road between Durango and Ouray, you need to do it just to see the towns like this along the way 

The image of these oil cans on the coupler of this old train just caught my eye.  I love to see the oil and grit of old vehicles.
