Ever since German and European settlers began to arrive, the beauty of the scenic Texas Hill Country has attracted artists.   The central Texas area especially offers countless inspirations from wildlife, wildflowers, rolling hills, charming farms and historic buildings, iconic landmarks, and scenic views.

While exploring the Texas Hill Country wine trails and backroads, don't be surprised if you see artists set up with their portable easels painting a scene.
