Randy Peyton (b. 1958), Bluebonnets, 2006, oil on canvas, 18 x 24", frame: 29.5 x 35.5"

Native-born Texan Randy Peyton started painting the land of his birth when he was twelve years old. Proximity to Texas's famed Hill Country dictated that he paint the awesome wild flowers that blanket the countryside every Spring. After perfecting that subject matter over a twenty-year period, his wanderlust took him to southern Europe, France, Spain, and Italy. South of the border in Mexico is another favorite locale. Landscape, architecture, figures, and sometimes a combination of the three are prevalent in his work. Palette varies from earth to jewel tones with emphasis on light and shadow. Combining soft realism with a touch of impressionism characterizes his paintings.
