Just in case you are sending notes and would like to share a little of your love of Texas...I have a few scenes from our great state available on card stock. Most are 5” x 7 “ and come with matching envelope. The inside is blank and the back has the Title of the artwork. All are suitable for framing. If you are in Marble Falls, stop by The Galleries at Pecan Creek to see a selection of cards, prints and some originals, too. In Austin , stop by The Art Escape at the Oasis on Lake Travis or in Georgetown on the Square at Art Escape. Or elsewhere, contact me directly. Packs of 5 are $15.00 plus tax and shipping, if needed.                                                    "The Star"  “Steppin’ Out in Austin              “Don’t Fence Me In” "Deep Roots" "Sunset Safari"
