These two cowboys are having a serious conversation. The one on the left is telling his troubles to the one on his right, while the one on the right is considering what advice to give his friend.

This cowboy is riding through one of my favorite locations in Colorado. He is beneath the Maroon Bells near Aspen. Boy, I wish I was there with him.

This painting was commissioned by some dear friends of ours who live in the hill country near Wimberly, TX. This was the first of several paintings that they have purchased over the years, and the first time I painted the beautiful Hill Country.

This young cowboy is busy washing his horse. That buckskin is pretty tall but that stool has solved the problem. The hound is patiently waiting his tern. I was blessed to have this painting chosen for the August 2001 cover of Western Horseman Magazine.

I love to paint buffalo. I've spent full days just watching and painting them. If you've ever been to Caprock Canyon State Park, you'll probably recognize this background. I was blessed to be one of the first people to paint this part of the official state herd. That painting hangs in the park's visitor center.

This young cowboy has been so busy painting this fence, that he didn't notice his horse was still in the pasture and got into the wet paint. A print of this painting is available on my website.

There are a few locations in our nation's Southwest that are truly magical, and I never tire of painting them. One is Canyon De Chelly in Northeast Arizona on the Navajo Reservation. This beautiful canyon will take your breath away, and you'll never forget a visit there.

These beautiful Quarter horses are part of the River Breaks Ranch remuda. I've painted there many times and I always enjoy it. One of the best parts of my job is the access I have to good-looking horses thanks to several dear friends.

These two cowboys have just heard a nearby gunshot. Now they're wishing their fire was much smaller. Gunfire in the darkness could mean anything in the Old West. I'm glad they are well armed.

These two cowboys are looking for cattle. Sometimes they're hard to find in Canyon Country, but if you wait long enough you'll see movement eventually. I've been there. This is one of my most popular birthday cards with Leanin' Tree.
