I enjoy painting stagecoaches in action. This driver is doing his best to keep the company schedule, even though the weather is not ideal. Everyone will be glad when they reach the relay station, especially the horses.

One morning I was painting a mare and foal on Creekwood Ranch when behind me, I heard some hoof beats coming up the hill. Fortunately, I had my camera and took the photos I worked from for this painting. I consider such occasions gifts from God, and I'm always thankful when they happen. This print is available on our website.

This cowboy has been surprised by a small band of Comanches. I'm pretty sure that roan will out-run them, and it's a good thing. There's absolutely no cover in sight.

I wish everyone on earth could have been raised on a ranch. The work was hard, but every day was a gift as I look back on it. That special dog and that special horse made "growin' up cowboy" the best childhood ever.

These cowboys don't get to take the day off just because it's raining, but wet saddle leather makes a day seem much longer. This painting was done for the cover of Beef magazine and they sold prints of it.

This Comanche family stands on the rim of the canyon, maybe wondering what the future holds, as the sun sets on their way of life. It's hard to believe that only a hundred and sixty years ago, a scene like this would have been common where I live. Things have certainly changed.

This cowboy is obviously looking for a lost cow and calf. He doesn't see the beauty around him because his full attention is on finding the momma and baby.

I enjoy painting longhorn cattle. Their shapes are very easy to draw and their colors a varied as are the patterns of colors. This steer is speckled so I used very wet paint and a stiff brush to paint him.

Hot off the easel 30x40 oil on linen. Stagecoach travel in the Old West was rough and dangerous. The roads weren't level and smooth, and there was always the threat of Indians or Outlaws. There were also many rivers to cross. In all the years I drove a stagecoach, I never attempted to cross a body of water going this fast. Daddy would have killed me. This painting will be available as part of the Cowboy Artists Of America 60th anniversary show in Denver October 3rd.
