"Desert Haze"

Oil on linen panel, 8"x10"

A bright haze over Big Bend softens and mutes the desert colors.

"Sanderson Canyon"

Oil on canvas, 16"x20"

Sanderson Canyon crosses back and forth across highway 90 for what seems like more than 15 miles in and around Sanderson, Texas.

"Mountains and Clouds"

Oil on panel, 9"x12"

I love the views of cloud shadows over the mountains, exposing shape and form as they pass by.

"Pronghorn Sketch"

Oil on panel, 8"x8"

Another painting of a pronghorn antelope. I am thinking about doing a larger painting with several pronhorns.

"Hoping for Rain"

Oil on panel, 5"x7"

Clouds in Big Bend offer hope for some possible rain.

"Late Afternoon Whitetail"

Oil on panel, 8"x8"

Late afternoon sunlight and a whitetail deer.

"High Plains Drifter"

OIl on panel, 8"x8"

One of my favorite animals is the North American Pronghorn Antelope. They are speedsters in the open prairie and very beautiful.

A whitetail buck in the hill country.

"A Day in the Bend"

Another scene from Big Bend NP.

"Joy"

Oil on panel, 7"x5"

'Tis the season... a mug and a few stray marshmallows.

"Purple Mountain" revised

Oil on panel, 5"x7"

The final revised piece I am posting today. These paintings needed more work on them, they just seemed like I had initially hurried through them. The next post will be something new and appropriate for the season.

"Shark Tooth" revised

Oil on panel, 5"x7"

Another painting I have revised since last posted.

"Volcanic Landscape" revised

OIl on panel, 8"x8"

This painting has been revised since last posted in August.

"Shelter"

Oil on panel, 9"x12"

A man made shelter in the hill country offers escape from the elements, possibly for bedding or feed.

"Hills and Valleys"

Oil on panel, 5"x7"

Another scene from the hill country. The sun is to the left, that is a cloud shadow on the hill to the right.

"In the Aspens"

Oil on masonite panel, 30"x24"

I am just not going to get a good picture of this painting. There is a lot of glare on it, it is dark today and I have the painting near the window to allow for as much light as possible but also getting reflections in the surface. Anyway, this is a larger version of the aspens painting done and posted to my blog a couple weeks ago.
