With this last painting completed in 2016 we send warm wishes for a creative and productive new year! Martha Rea Baker will be returning to the Texas Hill Country for her twelvth annual January painting retreat. The Hill Country Arts Foundation provides an inspirational setting for both visual and performing arts and is an excellent resource for professional artists and students, alike.

Stay tuned — we will post work completed during the retreat which culminates with an exhibit in the Duncan-McAshan Visual Arts Center on the HCAF campus.

Cheers, Studio Tres Picos and Martha Rea Baker
