A Sisterdale Memory .. SOLD


Sisterdale is a small farming and ranching community in the Texas Hill Country established in 1847 by German pioneers.  Its quiet, peaceful atmosphere is punctuated by a small river that winds its way lazily through the area, and also by many timeworn oak and mesquite trees. These beautiful old friends tower over interesting structures now designated as historical landmarks.

Loving this tiny limestone building, the old oaks and mesquites surrounding it, I photographed the little scene in this painting several years ago.  I fervently hope next time through I'll find this charming scene unchanged.  In the meantime, here it is immortalized in my painting, "A Sisterdale Memory".
