Texax Trophy – small works

This painting portrays a commanding South Texas whitetail buck standing watchfully in the warm glow of late-day light, with another buck and a doe visible behind him among the brush. Golden grasses, prickly pear cactus, and distant rolling hills anchor the scene in the rugged character of the Texas landscape. The foreground buck’s impressive antlers rise against a soft blue sky, symbolizing strength and dominance, while the presence of the other deer adds depth, movement, and a sense of natural hierarchy. Rich earth tones and gentle transitions of light create a calm yet powerful moment that celebrates the balance of wildlife within the Texas Hill Country.
