Duane Propes |
 |
Duane Propes is
"Bigger than Dallas"
and an artist that is Texas! The bassist for the band Little Texas has been busy lately. He lives in Nashville, with his wife Pam and their adorable family. Little Texas is back! With a fresh perspective, the band is on the road again, selling out shows and creating new music that can only be described as inspired. “From the very beginning, Little Texas was an attitude. Nothing about that has changed. It's STILL an attitude. We caught up with Duane and Little Texas in Hot Springs during the Triple Threat Tour with Restless Heart and Blackhawk. An awesome concert. Little Texas introduced some new songs. Word has it that a new video and single along with an album is in the works this Fall. Personally, I can't wait for the release. Thanks to my cousin Duane (our great grandmothers were sisters) and the Band for hosting us and making us feel so special. |

Benini |
 |
In
1999, Benini and his wife Lorraine purchased Le Stelle, their 140 acre
Ranch in the
Texas Hill Country that has been turned into the Benini Foundation and
Sculpture Ranch which includes the residence, guesthouse and a
14000 sq. ft. Studios Building with offices, showroom, studios and fine
arts library. In the surrounding Texas Landscape, national and
international sculptors are placing large-scale
contemporary works. However, Benini's work is still the
centerpoint. Benini creates paintings that appear three
dimensional and glow with pigment. I have several of his works in
my collection and truly adore each
one. Baci! |

Logan Arnold |
 |
Looking for a
musician to play for your event? Meet Logan Arnold. His Dad, Randy and David are friends. Randy sent me a CD. I was very impressed. Logan came by to meet me Sunday afternoon before he went to Church. He is so enthusiastic that it's contagious. Logan is available for accoustic sets. He will play for parties, celebrations and gatherings. I have him scheduled for our 8th Annual Shearing Festival and Open Barn! Logan's love of music grew when he was 13 years old and broke his leg. He was extremely bored with being out of commission. His Dad, Randy, bought him a guitar to pass the time away. Logan loved that guitar. It was love at first sight. He couldn't put it down and still can't. He taught himself music and absolutely loves to sing. . . .and besides that ladies, he is very polite and handsome. |

Stephen Kimball |

Stephen Kimball is one of my favorite Artists. Our friends the Benini's introduced us. I own one of his paintings and several of my friends/collectors have acquired his work. He resides with his wife, Brenda and daughter in Pollack, Louisiana. A Cancer Survivor, Stephen explores light and shadow in his subject matter. He works with Oil, Acrylic, Pen & Ink, Charcoal and Pencil. His art reminds me of the East Texas Piney Woods. |

Gin Creek Ranch
|
 |
Texas Collection-The Llamas of Gin Creek Ranch Given the history of the land and family, it seems natural that David and Malinda would have chosen to raise llamas, whose history dates back thousands of years. They appreciate the history of the llamas and are always on the lookout for historical information about them. Malinda and David's herd has grown to 35 since 1999. All it took was one look into a llama's eyes, and Malinda was hooked. David's first purchase was a Mother's Day present for Malinda. The holidays just kept on coming, and so did the llamas! WINDTALKER, Our Super Suri Herdsire, now has his own page. Check it out to see him up close and learn how magnificient he really is! |
