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 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 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!

I tend to think of myself as a kid and when I saw this "57 Chevy" in an antique car show in San Angelo, Texas it hit me that I was a kid 42 years ago when it was new! I was still reminiscing when I crossed this bridge between Hico and Clairette on the way home.
