These two cowboys have stopped their work long enough to admire the beauty they're riding through. We are blessed in the southwest to live in such a beautiful surroundings. The location of this painting is northwest of Ghost Ranch in New Mexico.

I've done over thirty action stagecoach paintings, and although they aren't easy to draw, if I do them right, they always make an engaging painting. What I like about this one is that everyone is focused on something different. The passengers are focused on the Indians. The driver is focused on keeping the coach on the road, and the road runner is focused on getting the heck out of the way. Check out our website to see other stagecoach paintings.

This trio of lawmen have been hot on the trail after some stagecoach robbers. Unfortunately, the bandits have already opened the strong box and split up the loot. They're probably headed in five different directions by now.

This cowboy rides for the famed J A Ranch and he's on the floor of the Palo Duro bringing in a trio of longhorns. I've done that job many times when I worked for Elkins Ranch but they weren't longhorns, of course.

This young cowboy is having one of those "best days ever!". He has skipped school and is spending the day on his horse, something I did many times. This painting was done for my second book for Harvest House Publishing, "Growing Up Cowboy". The model for this painting and many more is my nephew Ethan. He's now the father of two boys himself. Time Flys.

If you follow my work, you know how much I like paintings that tell a story. What I love about this one, is that the dog says it all. It's been a long day on the prairie and it's time to turn in.

I've known some great cowgirls over the years, as good as any cowboy. My little sister could handle a horse with the best of 'em. I try to cover every aspect of ranch life in my paintings. My library of work would not have been complete without including cowgirls.

This painting is somewhat different for me. I was commissioned to paint one of the Spanish dancers in the musical "Texas" performed each summer in the Palo Duro Canyon. Her skirt as well as the clay behind her are both called "Spanish Skirts".

This trio of cowboys is on the floor of the Palo Duro Canyon. Are they running away from trouble, or riding toward it? Maybe it's a race for money. You decide. The title comes from the rattlesnake in the lower left. He's high-tailing it, too.

I haven't done many night scenes of the Palo Duro Canyon, but here is one. These cowboys have met under Sorenson Point. You decide what has caught the attention of the three of them and their horses. My focus was to bathe the entire scene with that wonderful moonlight.
