I love painting action scenes, especially when the action is coming straight at the viewer. I've noticed over the years that people remember big action paintings. That's why I always try to include one in every show.

30x24 oil on linen It's been a cold wet morning for this cowboy, but the rain has finally stopped. This will be his final crossing before home. He just needed one last look at the trail he has traveled. This painting will be available in Ft. Worth November 8th at the annual Cowboy Artists Of America Show.

30x40 oil on linen. When I was breaking horses, I always made sure that they could swim. As you may know, many horses will blow up their stomaches when swimming. That's why I would often loosen my cinch a bit before entering the water. Apparently, this cowboy loosened his a bit much, hence the title.

30x40 oil on linen. I enjoy paintings which have strong story-lines. In this case, the viewer gets to imagine how this robbery will play out. The stage coach may get safely away, or it might end in a shoot-out. I set the stage, you decide. This painting will be available in Fort Worth November 8th at the annual Cowboy Artists Of America's Show.

24x18 oil on linen. We've all seen men that we knew instantly were "pure cowboy" especially if horseback. I thought a simple vignette using only burnt sienna and white could best tell his story. This painting will be available in Fort Worth November 8th at the annual Cowboy Artists Of America's show.

30x24 oil on linen. I love colorful sunsets. My studio has huge windows which face the west, so I enjoy observing the sunsets each day. Some are stunning. Those are the ones I paint. This painting will be available in Fort Worth November Eighth at the Cowboy Artists Of America's annual show.

40x30 oil on linen. I love waterfalls, and my wife will tell you we've hiked miles just to see a good one. In this painting, a lone wet cowboy has paused his journey to enjoy the hypnotizing effects of thundering white water. This painting will be available in Fort Worth November 7th at the annual Cowboy Artists Of America Show.

40x30 oil on linen. This cowboy has his work cut out for him. If you've ever tried to drive a group of horses by yourself to a place they've never been before, you'll know what I mean. This painting will be available November 7th in Ft. Worth at the annual Cowboy Artists Of America Show.

16x12 oil on linen. I've painted several mirror reflections and I never tire of doing them. In this one, I wanted the buckskin and cowboy to stand out from the background. That's why there is a lot of contrast between the two. This painting is available at the Small Works, Great Wonders Show at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum In Oklahoma City the 7th of November.

12x16 oil on linen. Light colored horses under moonlight have had a prominent place in Western Art for many years. Frank Tenney Johnson was the master. This is my attempt. This painting will be available at the Small Works Great Wonders Show, November 7th at the National Cowboy And Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City.
