I love poker! I was part of a weekly poker game for many years at Six Gun City. I followed that by playing every Thursday with my family, my sons Josh and Joey, my sister Suzan and my mom and step-dad. I miss those poker nights. What I like about this painting is the warm glow of light juxtaposed against the cool of the rain.

This church was painted a while back, and because it's such a serene, peaceful scene, Leanin' Tree used it as a sympathy card. This chapel is very similar to the one Jeanne and I were married in at Six Gun City over fifty years ago, the frontier town and tourist attraction my family owned and operated.

We don't know if these men are outlaws or lawmen, but we know their guns are out, and we know they're being chased. We also know that there used to be five of them. My dad loved action paintings. He used to tell me that if I perfect my action paintings people would say "Russell, Remington, and Sorenson". I don't think that's true, but I find myself doing a lot of action paintings.

I did this painting a while back for a limited edition print. My wife calls paintings like this "Classic West" because it's so typical of the ranch scenes we see where we live. My good friend Shannon Brooks and his favorite horse were my models for this painting.

In this painting, I wanted to show the love this young cowboy has for his best friend. I fondly remember every dog in my life. Just the thought of them brings a smile to my face. Did y'all have a special friend when you were growing up?

I've known several great cowgirls in my life, and many are as good as any cowboy. In this painting however, I wanted to show the softer side of a cowgirl. I'll bet those wild flowers end up on the kitchen table tonight.

The sandstone mesas in America's Southwest are always impressive, but my favorite days are always like this one when the cloud shadows dance through the canyon walls.

These folks are giving thanks for the abundant rain they are receiving. When you're a farmer or a rancher you're totally dependent on moisture for your livelihood. I wish it rained more often where I live. I love to paint the rain.

This painting was commissioned by my dear friend and licensing agent. He told me he wanted to see the same view of the Palo Duro Canyon that I see off my front porch everyday. Jeanne and I feel so blessed to live here.
