Watercolorist @dawnahasara will be at our market on Saturday. She's a local artist who has a great talent in vibrantly recreating some of the most familiar scenes of Southeast Texas. Swing by the market and take a look at her work. You just might find a little piece of Texas you're quite fond of. #1stsatartmarket #houstonart #heightsart #houheights #houart #shoplocal #houstonlife #houstonsbest #houstonevents #saturday #firstsaturday
