I've traveled and painted from one end of Colorado to another. I'm constantly stunned by the beauty of it. Some of my favorite places to paint are the Maroon Bells near Aspen and The Great Sand Dunes. This scene is of the mountains near Ridgeway. For purchase info call Santa Fe Trails Gallery in Santa Fe New Mexico.

I have always enjoyed painting a group of horses. It gives me the chance to do different colors and confirmations within the group. These differences make a painting like this a lot of fun. The background for this painting is the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado.

If you don't think this cowboy is aiming at you, try to get away from it. No matter where you move, he has you covered. This painting was part of my Cowboy Artists Of America 60th Anniversary Show in Denver last weekend.

Jeanne and I just returned from the 60th annual Cowboy Artists Of America Show in Denver. I'm humbled to say we had a very successful show and my painting "The Fording" won the Patron's Choice Award. Thank you to all the people who made this weekend so wonderful. We feel blessed.

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.
