Description: This painting is of the famous "Round Rock" of Round Rock, Texas. The city was named after this rock. During the early days of cattle drives, the cowboys would look for this rock because it identified a shallow crossing point for the cattle. I also added the Round Rock water tower to the painting. You really cannot see the water tower from this point because it is located in the middle of town, but I added it to this painting because it is also a landmark that identifies the city of Round Rock, and it was fun to paint.
