CHRISTMAS EVE


Painting completed in: 1976

While driving to see relatives on "Christmas Eve" between Austin and Yoakum, Texas, a route I had traveled hundreds of times and a scene I had seen many times, but never after several days of rain and from just the perfect angle. The reflected image of the house only lasted a split second but from a moving car, I memorized what I'd seen.
