A lone Comanche brave overlooks his camp in the Palo Duro Canyon. The Comanches called the Palo Duro "sacred canyon" and for good reason. It was Heaven on earth to their people. It had unlimited timber and water. It sheltered them from the wind and there was abundant wildlife and buffalo. The Palo Duro provided everything needed.

I've said before, I don't often paint paints unless there's an Indian somewhere nearby. Here's an exception. That foal made sure he kept his momma between him and me the whole time I was in that pasture.

This cowboy has stopped mid stream to give his horse a break and to check his surroundings. There's nothing better than being horseback in high country.

This cowboy has temporarily stopped work to thank his pardner. If you've ever seen a good cow dog at work, they are amazing. They make a cowboys work much easier. This print is available in my online store. https://lnkd.in/gNWQTEG

I enjoy living where I live. Most people think the Panhandle of Texas is too flat and devoid of trees, those facts open up our landscape and we can see forever in any direction. Our skies are often beautiful, and easy to enjoy.

This lone cowboy is in one of my favorite places on earth...Monument Valley. I don't know what has caught his attention, but I know he can look in any direction and see beauty.

The title lets us know that these horses are stolen, so does the fact that they are running. I think action paintings like this one are far more interesting than more peaceful scenes. At least, I like 'em better.

I don't do many sky-scapes, but I'm forever fascinated by the wide range of intense colors God uses to paint such a sunset. My studio has an open view to the west, so I get to enjoy sunsets almost every day. Some days, they are breath-taking. Those are the ones I paint.

My original idea for this painting was to have a cowboy outside an art gallery watching a young lady looking through the window at the art. I was going to name it "Window Shoppers". Well, the girl I asked to model for me showed up in those flag shorts and I thought "Hey, this will be way better". You never know how an Idea for a painting will evolve. Happy Fourth everybody!

Yesterday I bought a watermelon so this painting came to mind. This young cowboy is bringing home the perfect watermelon. It has been thumped and approved. I think his family will be happy to see him ride in. I know my family will love our watermelon tomorrow. This print is available in our online store.
