About the Item

Sanctuary is a contemporary oil landscape painting on canvas 36 x 36 painted in 2020 by Texan artist Steve Parker . Parker conveys his understanding of Texas landscapes and the use of native trees. Sanctuary is a painting from a recent road trip to Smith Oaks Sanctuary. Smith Oaks Bird Sanctuary is 177 acres of fields, woods, wetlands and ponds. Sixty-four acres were purchased by Houston Audubon with the help of Houston Audubon members, friends, and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. The remaining 110 acres were donated to Houston Audubon by Amoco Production Company. The Rookery in the middle of Claybottom Pond has become a favored roosting and nesting place for thousands of waterbirds. The sanctuary is open to the public sunrise to sunset year round. The High Island sanctuaries are fee sites. The fee helps defray the costs of maintenance, utilities and improvements for the entire Houston Audubon sanctuary system. Steve Parker's landscapes depict Brenham, Chapel Hill, Washington County and Lake Livingston as seen in Sanctuary There is a feeling of recognition, of the familiar and yet of the elusive Texas landscape. The visual space of the painting entices one to imagine the changing light and atmosphere on a Texas pond or a sudden mysterious ray of light across a clearing in Texas. By looking inward, Parker has created a view which Texas nature is constantly changing. Steve Parker's paintings have enough definition to become recognizable while retaining a loose painterly quality. The painting always bring the viewer back to Texas. Steve has been an Instructor at the Art League of Houston for over 30 years. The gallery has many available paintings by Steve Parker on 1sdtdibs .
