This Navajo is reminded of his ancestors and their heritage in beautiful Monument Valley. I was blessed to spend a full-day from sunrise till dark riding through all the back canyons of Monument Valley with a Navajo guide. It's a day I'll never forget.

Every young cowboy enjoys gathering wildflowers for his mom's table. I know I did and Momma always smiled when she saw me riding in with a handful. Happy Mothers Day Everybody!

I love to paint waterfalls and have done so many times. When my daughter lived in North Carolina, I had the chance to visit dozens of them. Although most of my work is set west of the Mississippi, it's nice occasionally to paint other parts of our great nation.

This cowboy is intently watching the canyon below. Is he hunting? Is he followed? Is he traveling through enemy land and is just being cautious? He has that "Yellow Boy" in hand for some reason. You write the story.

These five cowboys with slickers flying are making a dash for cover. Being horseback is not a safe place to be during a lightning storm. I have a feeling they'll make it home safely, and they'll have a good story to tell.

This painting was commissioned by the Amarillo Chamber Of Commerce to promote Palo Duro Canyon. It is the last time I painted the Lighthouse formation on location. Jeanne and I are getting too old to lug my paints and french easel the six miles required. If you look closely at this painting, you might find a visitor to the Lighthouse. I don't know how far he traveled.

When you're a kid, height is a problem, especially when you're trying to get on your horse. I think this young cowgirl has got it solved. My granddaughter Marley was the model for this painting. I enjoy using my grandkids as models except my wife always prays that the painting won't sell.

I enjoy posting churches, especially old adobe missions. This particular church is similar to the one in Alamo Village, a movie set near Brackettville, Texas. It was based on a Spanish Mission is San Antonio in the 1800's.

In this painting I wanted to show that even working cowgirls can be quite beautiful. I love the contrast of her pretty face and working gloves. My niece Hanna was the model for this painting. We're blessed to have many beautiful models in our family.

This is one of my most popular paintings. It has been licensed for several products over the years. The background for this one is Monument Valley, one of my favorite places to paint. I used to paint on location there every year, and I've never lost that spell it has over me. It's a special place. No wonder they film so many movies there.
