Once upon a time, there was a small town in Texas called Wimberley. A cypress-lined creek trickled through its heart to meet the bottle-green waters of the Blanco. Its cedar-studded hills and the rocky spine of Devil’s Backbone provided a backdrop for all manner of tales, and if someone looked at the village just right, it could look like a hundred years ago, or only yesterday. It was one of those kinds of towns.
The Art of Bill Hutson is a unique citywide exhibition celebrating the work of artist and San Marcos native Bill Hutson. As part of the show, the Texas State Galleries at Texas State University, San Marcos is featuring a six-piece installation of works by Hutson, the centerpiece of which is “Homestead with signs, symbols and numbers.” This massive painting — over 6 x 9 feet — is accompanied by five preparatory studies for the work, including a sculpture titled “Shotgun for Elton Fax.” The exhibition is on view in the Texas State Galleries foyer through May 18.
“Image of Scorpius” is the latest art exhibition at the San Marcos Art Center featuring the work of world-renowned artist and San Marcos native, Bill Hutson. Hutson, born in 1936, was raised in the Dunbar neighborhood of San Marcos. His work, “Variations on a Marigold (with Scorpius)” will be featured at the San Marcos Art Center from Jan. 12 through March 20 during Art Center hours of operation. Due to the rise in COVID-19 cases, The San Marcos Art League, sponsors of the San Marcos Art Center, invites art lovers to view the piece in the front window of the Art Center on Jan. 16 across from this year’s Hays County CommonUnity MLK Jr. Festival in Downtown San Marcos.

A news flash came across my phone on Friday, Jan. 14, saying “A Major Food Shortage is Coming Again in the United States.” That headline, coupled with what we are seeing in the places we shop, is enough to cause a level of anxiety.
Government is not a business and doesn’t run like one. That “run government like a business” motto you hear from political candidates comes from the “tastes great, less filling” school of advertising.
I have been voting by mail for the last 12 years. It has always been a simple process. But this year's experience with vote-bymail is far more difficult than it used to be. In some counties, half of the applications are being rejected because of identity problems that don't appear to be the fault of the applicants as much as the fault of inadequate or inaccurate databases available to election clerks and confusing application forms.
