Art of Helotes Book

    Charles B. James, is an artist specializing in whimsical architectural paintings— a second career. While visiting a nearby town, he came upon an illustrated book of the historic district and was immediately captivated. He thought a book featuring historic Old Town Helotes would be a viable project for his art. He contacted author and local historian Cynthia Leal Massey to suggest a collaboration, and she readily agreed to write the stories to accompany his paintings.
