Born in Bastrop, Texas, the son of tenant farmers, Salinas began assisting Robert Wood about 1925. He accompanied Wood and Jose Arpa on plein air sketching trips in the hills surrounding San Antonio. By 1930, Salinas began to paint on his own in an Impressionistic style using fairly heavy impastos as seen in Texas Summer.
