When my wife Martha was a little girl she had a fantasy of being grown up and living in a Victorian House like the house we used to have in Austin. While standing in the front yard one morning I noticed her looking out thru the front door glass. The patterns reflected by the tree branches on the window gave the scene a dream like quality that seemed to capture "Martha's Fantasy" that became a reality.

The Heep Ranch, south of Austin, was homesteaded when Austin was barely more than a River Crossing. In the last five years I've done numerous paintings of the ranch for the Heep family. When I discovered this ancient saddle in one of the barns I wondered about the stories it might tell if it could. When I asked Grandmother Heep about the saddle she said it was at least 100 years old and told me of people and things in the past that she had all but forgotten!

This title occurred to me before I ever started painting the picture. The hungry Gulls trailing this Shrimpboat (named "Miss Lillie") seemed like an aerial wake that mirrored the one in the water. This is from the Laguna Madre in the Rio Grande Valley, but it could be any place on the Gulf Coast.
