About the Art: Texas artist Larry Dyke painted the quintessential Texas scene in "Deep in the Heart...". His love for his home state is evident in the detail and glorious color he gave the painting. Taking several months to complete, this piece will stand as his finest Texas landscape. Set in the Hill Country in bluebonnet season, the piece has all the elements that are dear to Texans - wildflowers, a stone house with a metal roof, hereford cattle, a meandering stream, and, above all, the state flag painted on the weathered roof of the barn. This piece will forever be "Deep in the Heart..." of all true Texans. Larry Dyke has devoted his life's work to the interpretation of the beauty he beholds in nature. His success as one of America's most beloved artists is proof of his distinctive ability to create a scene which captivates the imagination of the viewer. Dyke's genius lies in his construction of intricate settings that even the novice art lover can appreciate. His deep personal belief as a Christian is the driving force which guides Larry's life and work. In his paintings, Larry captures not only the physical beauty of the great outdoors, but also the spiritual sense of perfection he views as the handiwork of God's creation. This is why each of his paintings carries a related Bible verse below his signature. When Larry became a full time artist, he was impressed to put a scriptural notation on each of his paintings. It's an expression of what Larry thinks the true answer to life is.
