San Antonio- $3.78/g, down 8.0 cents per gallon from last week's $3.86/g. Austin- $3.85/g, down 5.6 cents per gallon from last week's $3.91/g. “The decline we've seen in average gas prices has been slowing down, as oil prices have held above $100 after declining under that level as recently as a few weeks ago. For the near future, we’ll see a mix of slight decreases and some potential increases mixed in. California markets should finally cool off and areas could even move lower in Southern California, while the Great Lakes could see gas prices jump up after having fallen for the last week or so," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. "While the national average should start to stabilize for the time being, there's no telling what's around the corner, at least for now, as the volatility in oil prices persists." SOURCE GasBuddy

“Ode to East Texas” is an exhibition of paintings by local artist Lee Jamison. In 2017, Jamison embarked on a trip with a sketchbook in hand, recording his impressions of East Texas, a region he has called home for about forty-five years. Jamison, with other observers of the Texas art scene, became convinced that East Texas, while rich in natural beauty and historic interest, has been underrepresented as a subject of serious artists. Landscapes and scenes of the Texas Hill County and Trans-Pecos abound in collections and galleries across the state, but East Texas, in Jamison’s view, has received short shrift. Seeking to remedy this lack of purity, Jamison traveled the winding, treelined passages of East Te x a s , o b s e r v i n g , sketching, and journaling along the way. The result is “Ode to East Texas”, an astonishing visual record of contemporary East Te x a s l a n d , l o r e a n d culture as viewed through the eyes of a painter. The exhibition will be available to the public from April 5 to May 28, 2022, at the Katy & E. Don Walker, Sr. Education Center located at 1402 19th Street, Huntsville, Texas. Gallery hours are Tuesday – Saturday 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sunday noon to 4:30 p.m.
