We welcome you to explore our gallery of photo-based digital paintings. This work is the core of our art practice, starting with a single or multiple photographic images and transforming them into a unique work of art. Ray has a passion for this process which involves painting and blending many layers of textures and other content, either throughout the entire image or in the tiniest portion of the image. The final image can have up to a hundred layers and the file sizes can reach over 10 gigabytes. The process can take a few hours or may progress over several months.

Austin City Limits

Lady Bird Lake (formerly Town Lake) is a river-like reservoir on the Colorado River in Austin, Texas. The City of Austin created the reservoir in 1960 as a cooling pond for a new city power plant. Today it is filled with kayaks, paddle boards and rowers. Austin is a frequent destination for us and we always run or walk along the excellent trail system along the lake in the mornings to help us not feel guilty about the large breakfast that follows at Magnolia Cafe. (Gingerbread pancakes are highly recommended!)
