Urban Living

 36X24 Acrylic Painting

The neighborhood of Timbergrove Manor in Houston showcases a fascinating blend of architectural styles and functions, offering prospective buyers a range of housing options from charming 1950s vintage homes to sleek, modern mansions. This variety is a testament to Houston's unique lack of urban zoning regulations, which allows for a rich tapestry of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings to coexist in close proximity.

This eclectic mix is captured beautifully in the painting titled "Urban Living." The artwork vividly illustrates the diverse architectural landscape of Timbergrove, where old and new structures stand side by side, creating a dynamic urban environment. The sky in the painting provides a stunning, colorful backdrop that enhances the scene, inviting viewers to pause and appreciate the vibrant hues that illuminate the entire neighborhood.

The combination of different building styles and purposes not only reflects the area's history and growth but also offers a unique living experience for its residents. The painting serves as a visual celebration of this diversity, highlighting the neighborhood's unique charm and the harmonious coexistence of its varied elements.

And this building is our next door neighbor!





Gulf Sunrise Over Galveston

 36X24 Acrylic Painting

What a breathtaking scene! The contrast of colors between the serene blues of the Gulf, the vibrant oranges and yellows of the sunrise, and the lush greens of the foliage must create a stunning visual. The way the colors transition from the deep blues of the water to the warm hues of the sky and then to the earthy tones of the sand and foliage must evoke a sense of tranquility and awe. It's amazing how nature can paint such vivid pictures for us to admire.


Imagine standing on the soft, sandy shores of Galveston Island as the first light of dawn breaks over the horizon. The sky is a canvas of rich, fiery hues - deep oranges, warm yellows, and hints of red blending seamlessly with the cool tones of the fading night. These colors reflect off the gently rolling waves creating a mesmerizing dance of light and shadow on the water's surface.


As you gaze out towards the horizon, you can see the silhouette of the lights from distant ships lining up to proceed through the Boliver Roads to deliver the critical ongoing goods of international trade.


Closer to the beach, the sand takes on a golden hue, illuminated by the warm glow of the rising sun. Footprints left by early morning beachcombers crisscross the shore, telling stories of wanderers who have come to witness the beauty of this tranquil moment.


As you take in the breathtaking vista before you, you can't help but feel a sense of peace and wonder wash over you. In this moment, you are reminded of the beauty and majesty of the natural world, and the profound connection we share with it.
