Sam Houston IV Teaching Texas History - Watercolor Painting

Sam Houston IV Teaching Texas History -
Watercolor Commissioned by Kameron Searle

Above is the watercolor painting Kameron Searle commissioned of Sam Houston IV teaching Texas history. From a photograph of Sam Houston IV passionately teaching Texas history as the keynote speaker at the 2011 Texas Independence Day celebrations at Washington-on-the-Brazos, the artist incorporated themes from the famous painting of General Sam Houston pointing towards the San Jacinto Battlefield. Sam Houston IV's avocation was teaching Texas history which he did exceedingly well  and whenever he got the chance for most of his adult life.

The painting was the work of artist Maryna Voloshyna. The painting was commissioned at the time of Sam Houston IV's passing in 2017. Ben Warren IV, President of the Sam Houston Chapter of the Sons of the Republic of Texas in Katy, Texas, presented the members of Sam Houston IV's family with framed copies of the print.

Note: As Kameron Searle discovered in his research regarding Sam Houston's horse, the color of the horse was corrected to reflect the historically accurate gray color. Many historical sources reflect General Sam Houston's proclivity for riding gray horses throughout his life.
