Shallows on the Nueces

Oil on panel, 6"x8"

This scene is on the Nueces River, north of Brackettville, Texas.

Peaceful Morning

Oil on panel, 16"x20"

I did this painting in January of this year but nearly ruined it in a rush to finish it. It has been sitting in the bad corner for a while and I finally decided to fix it or trash it. It still has some issues but is far better than it was. I am still having problems photographing anything this large. I just cant keep glare off my canvases.

"Swift Water"

Oil on panel, 6"x8"

This scene is from a photo I took while in Colorado this summer. I was there taking an outdoor workshop with George Strickland. After the workshop was complete I had a full day to drive around and paint on my own. I believe this scene to be near Basalt or Aspen on the way to the Maroon Bells. I have photographed this piece several times and just haven't been able to get a good picture of it. There is a constant glare on the dark pine trees and the trees on the far right side are almost blown out in the photo. The actual painting looks much nicer than my posted image.

"Golden Hour"

Oil on panel, 6"x8"

I enjoy painting these small scenes of the Texas Hill Country. This is another sunset, this time on a river.

"On the River"

Oil on linen canvas, 24"x30"

This is the larger version of this scene I recently painted. I have a very difficult time getting a usable photo of anything over 12"x16". The color is dingy and washed out. I had to shoot it outside which created a blue cast over the entire photo, which I attempted to correct. My camera just isn't good enough and eventually I will have to invest in a much better one.

"On the River" Study

Oil on panel, 9"x12"

This scene is near Basalt, Colorado. I painted this as a study for a larger version of the same scene. I am hoping I can bring a little more life into it on a larger scale.

"Redstone"

Oil on panel, 12"x16"

Redstone is a small town near Carbondale, Colorado. The scene is from a park that sits right on the river.

"Peaceful Morning"

Oil on panel, 16"x20"

"Peaceful Morning" IN PROGRESS

Oil on panel, 16"x20"
I'm not quite done with this piece. I want to bring out a few details in the water and forground before I call it complete. This photo has a terrible glare on the left side which is also where the light is coming from in the painting. Hopefully I will get a better finished image when all is said and done.
