Turn Your Texas Story Into Abstract Art

Submit your Texas photo and story—we’ll turn it into abstract art. Explore real stories that inspired art. You could be our next featured image.

Every photo has a story—especially in Texas. At Texas Trail Blog, we celebrate the real people, real places, and personal memories that define our great state. Now, your unique moment might be selected and transformed into a stunning abstract painting featured in our Texas Trail Outfitters store and gallery.

How It Works

📸 Capture a moment in Texas: Whether it's a local rodeo, a sunset hike, a street performer, or a quiet lakeside morning—any photo that captures the Texas spirit qualifies.
✍️ Post your photo and story on our Community Forum:
https://community.texastrail.blog
🎨 We randomly select powerful stories and images from the community forum.
If your post is selected, we will always contact you first to ask for permission before turning it into abstract art.
🖼️ Once approved, your artwork will be featured in our Texas Trail Outfitters store: (Coming Soon...)
It will also include a link back to your original post in the forum.
🔗 Your post will have social media share buttons so you can share it with friends, family, or the entire Texas-loving world.
As a thank-you, we’ll send you a free Texas Trail coffee mug.

Why We're Doing This

This isn’t just art—it’s about preserving memories and honoring the culture, beauty, and heart of Texas. From forgotten trails to small-town music scenes, each photo tells a story worth turning into a masterpiece. Our mission is to take authentic, emotional, and iconic moments and give them a place to live on forever.

What Makes a Good Submission?

✅ Taken in Texas (rural, city, nature, culture—anything uniquely Texan)
✅ Clear image with no visible company names, brand logos, or watermarks
✅ Has a meaningful or emotional story behind it
❌ We do not accept photos that include children, due to legal and privacy reasons.
