Rick & Lori Stricklan

We are professional watercolor artists with a passion for painting detailed, realistic works of art. Travel, photography, and art have been a central part of our lives since we married in 1973.  We are now retired living in the Texas Hill Country where we get to do the thing that we love most, bring to life our favorite places and subjects through our beautiful watercolor paintings. Although we both use watercolor as our medium, we each have a distinct style and each paint through a different lens of unique subject genres. From our hearts to yours, our aim is to create something that you will love and cherish!

Testimonials

  • Watercolor art has always spoken to my soul in a special way. Rick’s artwork has a special place in my life. He has done custom work for me, and I have purchased some other works of art from him. If you have personal ties to the southwest United States, you will enjoy Ricks art. I encourage you to get to know Rick and the depth of his artwork.

    Stephanie Wheeler

  • This beautiful work of art was given to me as a gift by the artist herself. I will never forget the joy I felt receiving it! The love she put into every stroke is felt as you look at it. The diffused background gives this painting an ethereal beauty. Which draws the eye to the detail of the forefront flower including the guest visiting it! I love this painting and enjoy the beauty of it every time I look at it.

  • Rick and Lori Stricklan are AMAZING artists. I took Rick photos of a windmill and an old jailhouse on my property that I wanted him to paint for me. His imagination and eye for detail on how to combine and transform those photos to canvass was unbelievable. That painting has become one of my prize possessions. Very reasonably priced.

  • I take a break from my work and look across my study at one of Rick Stricklan's paintings I have purchased. I've been a fan of Rick's art since the first time I saw it. Especially this one. This particular work depicts a real character from my boyhood hometown . The image is good. The colors are vibrant, and the effect makes me smile. I highly recommend the work from Cross Your Heart Art. You won't be disappointed.

  • Lori is so very talented. Lori is an amazingly caring person. She doesn’t just paint a person or animals. She takes time to connect with you and get to know you and your story. Her work speaks for itself and is filled with feelings, detail, and flow. I highly recommend her.
