Travel Tuesday: High School Art at the Briscoe Museum of Western Art

The Briscoe Museum of Western Art in San Antonio Texas has a special exhibit of western themed art by high school students in Texas. Below are some of my favorites from probably 50 pieces on display.

  2. Lugo's drawing of an old man's face is impressive, as is Bowdoin's painting of a sad young cowboy.

    1. A member of museum staff explained that the older man in the hat, was the grandfather of the artist, and came to the show opener, wearing the hat and expression.

  3. Ivor Ethan Lugo's portrait is brilliant for one so young. I was startled to discover that "Vaquera" is not in fact a photograph.
