Yellow Cannas

Oil on panel, 6"x6"

This is a heavy texture palette knife painting of two yellow Canna Lilly's as an abstract.

Tule Mountain

Oil on panel, 9"x12"
Tule Mountain is on the western side of Big Bend National Park.

Near Castalon

Oil on panel, 8"x10"
This scene is from the Ross Maxwell scenic drive in Big Bend National Park.

'Til the Cows Come Home

Oil on panel, 8"x10"

This is a repaint of a previous work. I was not happy with the original painting and felt I could easily improve upon it. These cows are from a south Texas ranch mid 1980's.

Crescent Cross

Oil on canvas, 24"x30"

This is the same cow I just did the smaller study of (Living Large). I slimmed it down quite a bit. It was  very large and just didn't look right.

Roadside Oak and Bonnets

Oil on panel, 8"x10"

This scene is on the side of the road near La Grange, Texas.

Living Large

Oil on linen panel, 8"x10"

Again my camera has problems with yellows! I actually trimmed this cow down a bit from my photo reference. It may have been about to give birth, or so it appeared.

Small Pond

Oil on linen panel, 8"x10"

I found this scene just west west of Houston on the 90 Alternate.

Yellow Flowers

Oil on panel, 6"x8"

A small scene of some yellow flowers growing just west of Houston, Texas. My camera has a tough time with yellows, this painting is much more colorful than this dreary image.

Down the Road

Oil on panel, 6"x8"

This scene is a little east of Hallettsville, Texas.

On Terlingua Creek

I have revised this painting with the new image above. I added buildings in the background and repainted most of the canvas.

Oil on panel, 16x20

I am not finished with this painting but wanted to view it online for a bit and let decide if I want to put some old buildings in the background. There are also a few other adjustments I would like to make. The scene is on Terlingua Creek just west of Big Bend National Park.

Day Breaks

Oil on panel, 11"x14"

This scene is very similar to Mornings Veil and another entirely made up painting. This time I came in a little tighter making the scene more intimate and left the bluebonnets out keeping the morning light as the feature of the painting.

Longhorn Study

Oil on panel, 8"x10"

This Longhorn was painted from a photo sent to me by my friend and collector Larry Miller of Houston. Thanks Larry! I will be doing several paintings of these beautiful animals. Hopefully culminating in a larger piece with multiple longhorns in the scene.

Mornings Veil

Oil on canvas, 11"x14"

This painting was created entirely from imagination. I did use my reference photos to keep some believability.

Passing Shadows - Sotol Vista

Oil on panel, 11"x14"

This is another scene from Sotol Vista in Big Bend National Park.

On the 90A

Oil on panel, 8"x10"

This scene was a little east of Hallettsville, Texas off of 90 Alternate.

In the Desert

Oil on panel, 8"x10"

Another scene from Big Bend National Park.

Desert Flats

Oil on panel, 8"x10"

Blue in Texas

Acrylic on canvas, 24"x36"

This Texas Hill Country scene was created from several of my photos and a lot of creative license.

Sotol Vista

Oil on panel, 8"x10"

This scene is a view from Sotol Vista on the Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive in Big Bend National Park.
