OFFICIAL TEXAS STATE ARTIST FOR 2006       My Heartfelt thanks you to all of you who submitted my name to the Texas Commission for the Arts and Nominated me for the Title of Official Texas State Artist last year! In May of 2005I received a call from Rick Hernandez, the Executive Director of the Texas Commission for the Arts telling me that I had been chosen by the Texas State Legislature to be the 2006 Official Texas State Artist in the Category of Two Dimensional Visual Artist! I can't thank you enough!

                      TREASURES OF TEXAS- Has jwas published a year ago by Limited Editions of America of Whitehouse, Tennessee and they will produce State Symbol Prints for all 50 States. This is the Print for Texas and I was selected to produce the Painting because of my being designated as the Official Texas State Artist for 2006. The Print features Ten of the Official State Symbols of Texas and Three that I thought were equally as important to the History of Texas; (the Cowboy, the Windmill and the Oil Well). Limited Editions of America has produced 1845 (the year Texas Entered the Union) Signed and Numbered Prints .  They plan to make sales calls in each County and if they sell seven or eight at each, the Edition will sell out. (It's  alresdy half sold out!)  The Limited Edition is sold FRAMED ONLY for $199 and has cut outs in the matts that feature the Title, Texas Flag, Texas Seal and both sides of the Texas Quarter. I told them that they were selling this too cheap considering the elaborate matting but due to all being Framed and Matted the same they can offer it for the low price of $199. Size is 26 1/2" x 32 1/2", Matt colors can not be changed, However I can change the Frame to Oak, Gold or Weathered Wood for an additional $50. Click here for more information and to orderOn July 25th,2006 I presented a copy of Treasures of Texas to Governor Rick Perry to be placed in the Governor's Mansion in Austin. Governor Perry is on the left and I am the other guy!
