A gallery owner who has specialized in selling theses favored blue Texas flowers told me I was one of the best bluebonnet painters living. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n<p>With such a subject that has been painted frequently not only by me and other artists, it can be a challenge to represent them differently. After all they grow in a region known for oak trees and hills, so there&#8217;s going to be repetition.<\/p>\n<p>So, here&#8217;s a scene with a slightly different color scheme than some I&#8217;ve painted even though the elements of oak trees, hills and bluebonnets are the same.
