Deep in the heart of the Lone Star State, known to most as Texas, there are young, daring artists like no others in the world. They call themselves the "Texan Tornado Painters," led by the funniest, friendliest cowboy around, 'Picasso Pete,' who surprisingly, rather than riding horses, rides a multicolored unicorn named Hue. Pete’s cowboy hat is no ordinary headgear. It’s a magical hat that drips a myriad of colors, which he catches with his paintbrush and uses to paint the world brighter. He teaches the Texan Tornado Painters, a group of spirited Texas kids, how to make masterpieces that would make the stars in the Texas sky twinkle in admiration. Whether they're in Houston, Dallas, Austin or anywhere in between, every weekend, these kids dip their brushes in their palettes filled with shades of the Texas sunset, colors of the Bluebonnet flowers, the greens from the cacti and the browns of the cowboy boots. With each stroke, they create art that echoes the joyous spirit of Texas, making the Longhorn cattle moo in approval and the armadillos do a little joyous roll. And oh, these kids don’t just paint; they paint with a Texas-sized gusto, adding laughter and creativity into every artwork. Some say that whenever a Texan Tornado Painter completes a painting, a new star appears in the Texas night sky. So, if you ever find yourself under the Texas sky filled with countless stars, remember that each one was put there by a Texan Tornado Painter, pushing their brush across canvas, under the watchful eye of their leader, Picasso Pete, and his trusty unicorn, Hue.
