Who are the top three Bluebonnet artists of Texas?
Q. Hints: One was born in England. One is of Mexican heritage. One painted historic scenes of the Alamo battle. All three are famous museum quality artists with the highest of acolades. Do not list contemporaries, the three I want are all Dead.
Asked by InLikeFlynn - Thu Mar 29 15:23:41 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Robert W. Wood, born in England Julian Onderdonk, father of bluebonnet paintings Porfirio Salinas, Hispanic decent I add a fourth simply because she painted a picture of a pitcher of bluebonnets that helped the Texas legislature choose the bluebonnet as the state flower. She was Mode H. Walker. This was the best I could do. They are all deceased and are all ranked the top bluebonnet painters in Texas (with the exeption of Mode Walker, but she does hold a place in their hearts).

Where can a songwriter find a good Christian music tip sheet to market songs?
Q. I'm a Christian songwriter. On the net there are lots of tips sheets available listing artists and bands that are looking for material to record but what I've found thus far is all secular. I'm mainly looking for Contemporary Christian leads. Thanks in advance

Cultural and general info 2. Political info. Note: I've explained everything.Any answers before reading the whole thing will prove to be wrong.Specially the political part.I've provided evidence for whatever I say.It's just the way it is. *** Part 1: Cultural and general info Hi.

I wrote this article in an attempt to help correct those ideas. The first thing the West accuses our… [cont.]

A. Your article was very informative,thank you. As you may know the media tend to exaggerate on everything(sensationalism sells). Obviously I can only answer for myself but I believe it is common knowledge in the US.about Iran being a very civilized country,and the people of Iran being very educated. There are exceptions to the rule, anywhere. Wish you well
