Paintings of Texas Hill Country

The border between the American Southwest and Southeast, Texas Hill Country is a rural area of Texas filled with pastoral scenes, an abundance of wildflowers, glistening watersheds, and beautiful geological formations. Texas Hill Country has been made famous as a travel destination by local Texans because of the amazing wildflowers that appear every spring. Any weekend in April and May, you will find hordes of couples and families taking pictures out by the bluebonnets. This lovely area has inspired landscape painters Porfirio Salinas and Erin Hanson, both of whom found the wildflowers in Hill Country particularly irresistible. Hanson uses her signature open impressionism technique to paint vast fields of native flowers, including fire wheels, Indian paintbrushes, and bluebonnets.
