Blue Dog meets Far Side ... would be a good description. My art is whimsical and fun. Sometimes it will make you laugh out loud and sometimes you will smile inside. But it will always make you feel good. 713-816-2877 www.aprilmurphy.com

Watercolor Expressions by Mike Vollmer
I have been painting watercolors seriously since 1984. My initial passion was to paint landscapes and explore texture methods in watercolor. Since 2000, I have been interested in prophetic art after seeing it done as a part of worship during church.

Regina Parkinson
Most of my work is medium to large scale acrylic, oil pastel, or mixed media inspired by nature with a modern edge. While pieces range from whimsical to abstract, they generally incorporate a high contrast pallette and texture created by layering either paper, modeling paste or paint. I work to evoke a sense of joy or a feeling of connection to flora and fauna. It has been referred to as "happy art".

FEATURED: Eugene John Hughes
Currently I am generating abstract, expressionist paintings using primarily acrylics as my tool of experimentation. Toss a Pop Art influence into the mix to round out what impacts my style. Mixed media is an increasing influence with many works incorporating plaster, copper wire, organic elements - sand, salt, rock, glass as well as print media. A few even include a favourite old shirt to worn to wear again. My art is diverse in subject and is extremely colorful and textural. It should provoke more than one sense in you.

I started out drawing with charcoal, and now work primarily in acrylics on canvas. More recently, I have been exploring upcycling, creating art using reclaimed wood and magazines. My art, like my personality, is in brilliant color. Life is too short for grays. So I say, throw open that paintbox and live a life more colorful! www.thecolorfullife.etsy.com 979.253.0245

Melody Goyer
Hi, I am a decorative artist that loves painting on reclaimed materials and giving them a fresh start to their next life. Old cabinet doors, furniture, and even old entryway doors can be given a new purpose with a little creativity. The cabinet doors were created for clients using our furniture finishes on their existing cabinetry, that I then turned into art for others to love.
Facebook Reclaim, repurpose and create art!!!

Darlene Besier
I enjoy working in a wide variety of media and currently my main focus has been creating jewelry redesigns (altered art). I greatly enjoy redesigning jewelry as finding just the right components to collage together into one-of-a-kind pieces is exciting! Another focus is embossed metal art (repujado). Working in 36 gauge metal sheets, I emboss my linear designs which I then embolden with blocks of bright enamel paint. I developed this bold style of embossed metal from the idea to keep the designs clear and colorful which results in a stained glass quality in its simplicity. My favorite motifs include the sun, sunflower, and heart. It makes me happy when my work brings happiness to others!

My life long love affair with drawing and with Texas inspired my Texas in Wonderland Series. This whimsical group of graphite pencil drawings artistically represent the symbols of the Lone Star State. Some close-up photos of the state plant of Texas (the prickly pear cactus), which I snapped in Uvalde County, sent my imagination into overdrive when I looked at the textures of the cactus leaves, particularly those that were decaying. I grabbed my favorite graphite pencil and began drawing the details of the decay. I simplified the textures into circular shapes and began repeating those shapes in other drawings.
