PAINTING LOCAL FLAVOR










"Tarpon Inn" 10" x 20" oil/c

The Tarpon Inn is a famous establishment
in Port Aransas. I show my work at
Port A Gallery just a few blocks away.

There was a time when tarpon would
run up and down the Texas coast on
their way to Florida and were one of
the best game fish found on our
coast. But the hurricanes came and
changed to coastline and the tarpon
disappeared. Only recently have they
began to appear again. The Tarpon
Inn was the place to stay when the
tarpon were running.
