This scene has always fascinated me and is probably familiar to most local folks who have traveled between Nocona and Saint Jo. At first glance you think there are only five trees, but count the tree trunks. There are actually six.

Thanks to the many who commented on the brown tone “Boot and Bouquet” painting last week. Some liked it the way it was, but quite a number suggested some selective color somewhere in the image to add a stronger focal point and increase interest. The favorable comments have boosted my enthusiasm for pursuing this style of painting for a number of larger works to be produced over the next year. I sincerely appreciate the comments and suggestions.
