Passport to Texas

This is Passport to Texas

When Texas Parks and Wildlife TV producer Abe Moore decided to shoot a segment on a wildlife artist for the PBS series, he didn’t have to look any further than Parks and Wildlife’s own Clemente Guzman.

58—He’s just so good at painting wildlife. It’s just a natural gift that he has.

When they see my painting, they see the hawk, or they see a raccoon; you know, I try to show it to you in a way that I saw it. I hope I can translate the energy that nature has. You know, that’s just life. Life at its best.

So, we call the story on Clemente and his amazing talent ‘The Inspired Artist.’ And for him, he makes sure he keeps his inspiration going by getting outside. And, he has a particular stream he visits to keep his inspiration going.

This little spot is very full of energy through the little pebbles, the noise of the water. And I get all kinds of ideas running through my head – I get a lot of inspiration – and I use that inspiration on my artwork.

So, we followed him from the beginning of a project to the culmination of the finale, and it’s just a great picture he did. So, you can see the story and the painting that he finished the last week in November on the TV show.

Thanks, Abe.
