Texas History:
Lee is one of the few historical artists
who makes a specialty of the history
of Texas.
In the work shown here, entitled
"Storm Coming: Main Street, Houston
1926" a booming town in a booming
time is presented with a touch of the
ominous. On the left is the First
Presbyterian Church. Behind that is
the old Hotel Bender. The Rice Hotel
is two blocks down on the left.
In two years Houston will be the first
city in the old Confederacy to host a
national Party convention (the
Democratic National Convention at
which Al Smith was nominated the
first Catholic presidential nominee,
only to lose badly to Herbert Hoover).
Connoisseurs of history might take
note that it has now been as long
since the end of W.W.II as it was at
that time since the end of the Civil
War. Again we find ourselves in
historic, and even tumultuous, times
as Americans have elected the first
African American U.S. president-
Barack Obama.

Here, in a composite of dozens of photos one
can see the ceiling and three walls. (A table set
for a reception blocked the fourth on the day
these were taken.) As with any real gazebo this
one teems with wildlife such as spiders, humming
birds, butterflies and geckos.
The old home, originally built by a longtime
professor, and early dean at Sam Houston State
is now used for meetings, community functions,
weddings, and receptions.

Storm and Recovery This mural is, appropriately, in the Walker
county Storm Shelter, a new facility designed to handle evacuees
from the frequent storms that affect southeastern Texas. I painted it
after the events surrounding our area's being hit by Hurricane Ike.
