I have now completed this painting.

This painting is not quite complete but I wanted to post it to view it online before making final adjustments.

Texas Roadside

Oil on panel, 6"x8"

Ranch House in Menard

Oil on canvas, 18"x24"

This is an old family ranch house in Menard, Texas.

A Walk in the Park

Oil on linen panel, 11"x14"

This scene was painted from pictures I took while hiking at Enchanted Rock State Park. I took artistic license with the background and also changed the scene from winter to a spring setting.

Hill Country

Oil on panel, 16"x20"

This is another made up scene of the Texas Hill Country. I usually start these with a small thumbnail sketch but other times I just start painting, which is how this scene came to life.

Menard Study

Oil on panel, 9"x12"

This is a study for a larger painting. The scene is an old stone ranch house in the hills of Menard, Texas.

Early April

Oil on panel, 8"x10"

This painting was created from a compilation of photos taken near Fredericksbug, Texas.

Oak Tree

Oil on panel, 8"x10"

I painted this Oak tree from a small 2.5"x3.5" color study i created.

The Road I'm On

Oil on panel, 8"x10"

Another scene of the Texas Hill Country.

How far down your road of life can you see?

Hill Country Blue

Oil on panel, 6"x8"

Another scene from the hill country, featuring springtime bluebonnets.

A Spring Day

Oil on panel, 9"x12"

A scene during spring in the Texas Hill Country.

Happy Campers

Oil on linen panel, 9"x12"

This scene is early morning in Lost Maples State Park near Vanderpool, Texas

Cactus

Oil on panel, 6"x8"

Another made up scene, I fought this piece for a while, painting, then scraping then repainting until finally it was at least temporarily in my good graces. So here it is before I scrape it again. Going out to paint outside, that will alleviate the made up torture for a while and replace that with sun, mosquitos and gawkers.

North of San Antonio

Oil on panel, 9"x12"

I used the previously done smaller version of the same titled painting as a study for this piece. It originated as a thumbnail, then a finished 6"x8" early this year and now this 9"x12" version.

Morning Shadows

Oil on museum panel, 6"x6"

Another scene from between Cata Valley and Rock Springs, Texas.

Hilltop

Oil on panel, 11"x14"

I sometimes enjoy using only my imagination to create a painting. This is one of those scenes, it is entirely made up.

Valley of Blue

The Background Hill was bothering me, it just called for to much attention, so I pushed it back and removed some of the detail. This is the revised painting.


Oil on panel, 11"x14"
I used a photo from around Bandera for this piece but I altered it quite a bit.
