Although the gallery is not in Austin and the artist lives in Lampasas, he is a friend and former co-worker of mine in Austin. Let me warn you - you will not believe that he actually painted this by watercolor.

Oh yeah, we're talking exciting vacations now!
I hope on your trip to Austin you won't need to see the dentist, but in case you do, I have to recommend mine. I'm not related to him so it's not like I have anything to gain by this.

David J. Gordon II, DDS
I have been to dentists where the hygenist does her thing, then the Dr. comes in for 63 seconds, looks at x-rays, says hi and bye in one breath.
Then, I found Dr. Gordon. He actually comes in, sits down where I can see him, asks how things are going, and does a thorough examination. During both of my cap procedures, his "chairside assistant" stayed with me the whole time. It was so comforting, because when you have your mouth full of stuff and you can't see anyone around, it can get a little nerve-racking.
