Along with three friends, I have been working on a book for artists. It may also interest visitors to our area. This has been a great project and we are thrilled with it! Take a glance at it to have a taste of what this area is like. I have sent previews of it to a few friends earlier for feedback. We turned the final version of it loose just hours ago and I have already heard from one watercolorist in Scotland who has picked it up and plans to be here in Fburg in December.
Press release:
"Fredericksburg is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the state, known
for great scenery and a spectacular two-mile downtown historic district full of
shops, restaurants, and galleries. Fredericksburg is also recognized as an
art destination. People come here to view art, buy art, study art and
also to make art, painting the Hill Country itself. Having so much to offer,
it’s no surprise that Fredericksburg is a destination for plein air (outdoor)
painters. Now, there is a free downloadable pdf guide book that can be used by
artists either living in or coming to Fredericksburg to assist them in
identifying painting locations.
In this guide, a
group of four Fredericksburg artists, Steve Talley, Chuck Mauldin, Barbara
Mauldin, and Edyth O’Neill have shared their favorite places to paint in and
around Fredericksburg and Gillespie County. This guide offers a list of interesting
public locations for plein air painters. The sites have been divided into two
groups – those within the city and those in the rural areas. There is also a
section on areas where photography is more easily accomplished than painting
due to the private ownership of the land. The guide is profusely
illustrated with photographs and paintings accompanied by text describing
the location, directions, ease of access and other information pertinent to a
plein air painter."
Our Guide for Plein Air Painters in and around Fredericksburg Texas is now finished. Take a look, it is a free download for any and all to enjoy. e
