"Thundering Waters"
40x30 oil on linen. I love waterfalls, and my wife will tell you we've hiked miles just to see a good one. In this painting, a lone wet cowboy has paused his journey to enjoy the hypnotizing effects of thundering white water. This painting will be available in Fort Worth November 7th at the annual Cowboy Artists Of America Show.


"Sandstone Canyon"
40x30 oil on linen. This cowboy has his work cut out for him. If you've ever tried to drive a group of horses by yourself to a place they've never been before, you'll know what I mean. This painting will be available November 7th in Ft. Worth at the annual Cowboy Artists Of America Show.


"Belly Deep"
16x12 oil on linen. I've painted several mirror reflections and I never tire of doing them. In this one, I wanted the buckskin and cowboy to stand out from the background. That's why there is a lot of contrast between the two. This painting is available at the Small Works, Great Wonders Show at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum In Oklahoma City the 7th of November.


"The Stars At Night"
12x16 oil on linen. Light colored horses under moonlight have had a prominent place in Western Art for many years. Frank Tenney Johnson was the master. This is my attempt. This painting will be available at the Small Works Great Wonders Show, November 7th at the National Cowboy And Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City.


"When A Lighter Load Means A Longer Day"
It's just not this cowboy's day. Although he's made it across the river just fine, that uphill climb wasn't so easy. He'll have to spend a while cleaning the mess and trying to get all the dirt out of his flour.


"Everything That Glitters Is Gold"
I'll tell you an interesting thing about this painting. The horses and rider are coming downhill, so the reflection had to drawn completely differently from the way they were drawn. If you look at it upside down, you'll instantly see what I mean. The reflection is almost totally horizontal compared to the horses and rider that are entering the water at a forty-five degree angle. Thats what I love about water. Anything can happen. I just get to play with the reflection until i


"Golden Memories"
This painting was done for my first book for Harvest House Publishing, "Everything I Know I Learned From My Grandpa". I miss the countless hours I spent with my grandfather. He made me the man I am today.


"Friends Like No Other"
Fall paintings are some of my favorites. The intense colors always pull in the viewer. Here, a cowboy is in the high country while the aspens sing, with his two pals, his dog and horse. I'll bet he appreciates the beauty that surrounds him.


"The Artist"
This painting was done for my second book with Harvest House Publishing, "Growing Up Cowboy". What I like most about this paining is the dog's reaction. As you know if you follow my work, I always use the animals to help tell the story. The dog can't figure out what the boy's looking at, and the horse has given up and started eating.


"Sangre De Christo Gold"
Autumn among the aspens is a magical time. Jeanne and I try to plan a painting trip into the high country each fall. I've learned that if you time it right, there's an endless shower of yellow. I hope this New Mexico cowboy appreciates the beauty that surrounds him.
