The Hill Country landscape around Fredericksburg is surprisingly varied, pure pleasure for the plein air painter. The history of the pioneer settlement is rooted in this landscape and can be seen today in the houses, villages and farms built by the the early immigrants from Europe. Their lives were shaped by the landscape, climate and always by the ever present sense of vast space.
