Fredericksburg Texas Beauty in the Hill Country Inspires Me To Paint

Texas Hill Country near Fredericksburg Texas inspires me to paint about my experience in such a beautiful place.  

 We stayed in cabins with wildlife everywhere.

Donkeys greeted us at our door.

I used watercolour to paint Hill Country Landscape with cactus flowers blooming.  

The Texas Hill Country has large Oak Trees with large branches with twisted shapes.

I used acrylic to paint Texas Hill Country roads lead to scenic beauty.

Cactus flowers add beauty to the landscape. 

Some Flowers are purple with a gold center,

Lights hang to light our way.

We woke up to the sound of birds chirping in their habitat.

Places to relax with red couches allowed us to look up at the sky to see stars at night.

Dead trees with twisted limbs inspired me to paint their beauty.

Windmills twirl round and round.

Soft beds decorated with lovely comforters show country charm.

Red birdhouses on a large pole attracts birds.

Cow friends roam the Texas Hill Country fields to graze for food,

Red Roofs protect houses from down pours of rain showers.

Just like France inspires French Country furniture from the landscape of France, floral chairs from a store in Fredericksburg is inspired from the beauty of the Texas Hill Country.

Texas Garden in May Brings Joy 2026

 Texas Garden in May brings joy to the senses.  French gardens inspire Texans to plant their own space of beauty.  Climbing roses in France climb stone walls.  

Peach roses grow under a large Oak Tree.  I trimmed the tree and now it gets plenty of sunlight.  Roses need at least six hours.

We got a new fence so I was thinking the trumpet vine was gone.  But its growing by the side of the yard from the Crepe Myrtle Tree.  It's fun watching bees sip nectar.  

I planted the Day Lily last year.  It came up this spring with a beautiful pink and orange color.

The Passion Flower rose bush I planted two years ago is finally taking off.  The roses are a vibrant red.

Bounty from the vegetables come in refreshing colors.  I love to place them on an aqua plate and take a photograph for record keeping.  

Zuchinni grows great in a container.  You do need to water it more often.  

Okra flowers bring joy to the Texas Garden.  Some okra is the color of red.

Tomatoes are delicious growing on a vine.  

It's fun to put roses in a fun vase.  Just add water and it lasts for days.  

I plant jalapeno, peppers all over the Texas Garden because they are perfect for Tortilla Soup.  

Bunnies don't eat Begonias, so I put lots of pink begonias in pots.  Bunnies don't like the taste of the waxy leaves.  

Herbs mixed with roses bring joy.

Gardens bring hope as nature grows right before my eyes.  So if you can't travel to France you can bring a piece of it to your own backyard. 

It's amazing how each rose has delicate petals.  They are a symbol of peace and hope.
