IThe first photo about is the “Southern Hotel” in Llano, Texas in the 1880’s. It is now the offices of Buttery Hardware in Llano. A daughter of Mr. Buttery that started this business in the early part of the 1900’s brought the photo and ask for a commission piece that would be of the building as it was when it was a stagecoach stop between Austin and the west. The small boy in front of the hotel is her Grandfather as a boy.

​

The second example was commissioned by a client in Grapevine, Texas. This original photo example is of him and a friend  riding their motorcycles on a trip in the Hill Country of Texas. Their location was the Willow City Loop between Llano and Fredricksburg, Texas. 

​

In both cases you will see that the paintings were not copies of the photo references. Changes were made to make the paintings more interesting and visually appealing.
