It's unusual for a mare to be turned out with a halter on, and this colt was the first to notice. It's hard to unbuckle a halter with your teeth, but she's doing her best.

The Quahadi (antelope) band of the Comanche were some of the best horse thieves in history. Quanah Parker's band roamed the part of Texas where I live. They measured their wealth in horses, and had no equal in stealing them.

This pair of cowboys has their attention focused on something in the distance. Even the gray horse is watching. Is it Indians, a wildfire, or just an unusual cloud of dust? I'll let you decide.

When the setting sun casts that last warm light on the Palo Duro Canyon, the colors become stunning. I've tried with this painting to capture that momentary magic. I feel so fortunate to have grown up in this beautiful canyon.

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.
