"Stayin' Put"
This lone cowboy is in one of my favorite places on earth...Monument Valley. I don't know what has caught his attention, but I know he can look in any direction and see beauty.


"Fine Horses and Bad Men"
The title lets us know that these horses are stolen, so does the fact that they are running. I think action paintings like this one are far more interesting than more peaceful scenes. At least, I like 'em better.


"After The Storm"
I don't do many sky-scapes, but I'm forever fascinated by the wide range of intense colors God uses to paint such a sunset. My studio has an open view to the west, so I get to enjoy sunsets almost every day. Some days, they are breath-taking. Those are the ones I paint.


"The Patriot"
My original idea for this painting was to have a cowboy outside an art gallery watching a young lady looking through the window at the art. I was going to name it "Window Shoppers". Well, the girl I asked to model for me showed up in those flag shorts and I thought "Hey, this will be way better". You never know how an Idea for a painting will evolve. Happy Fourth everybody!


"Bringing Home A Ripe One"
Yesterday I bought a watermelon so this painting came to mind. This young cowboy is bringing home the perfect watermelon. It has been thumped and approved. I think his family will be happy to see him ride in. I know my family will love our watermelon tomorrow. This print is available in our online store.


"The Trail Boss"
This trail boss is relaxing in the saddle as he watches the long river of longhorn cattle they are taking up North. I can't imagine the grit it took to be a trail boss. That's one of the many reasons Charles Goodnight is one of my all-time heroes.


"Sprinklin'"
This cowboy is glad to have his slicker, although it's been sprinkling on and off all day he's still warm and dry.


"Behind Schedule"
This stagecoach driver is trying to make up time as he is behind schedule. As fast as that coach is moving though, that jackrabbit is moving faster.


"Not Bitein'"
It's been a long day of fishing with grandpa, and the fish are clearly not biting. Grandpas can wait for hours between nibbles, but dogs and grandson's become bored. I don't think the worms in that can are in any danger.


"Hope For The Future"
We all know that the demise of the Plains Indians was due in large part to the elimination of the buffalo, but I wanted this painting to be one of hope. These Comanche children have found a new-born buffalo calf.
