This painting was inspired by a morning spring drive to Enchanted Rock, in Texas hill country. The peaceful spring colors of green and blue swirl together in the still waters of the lake. The impressionistic brush strokes capture the feeling of being outside in the quiet dawn.From Artist's Statment at ErinHanson.com
