Bear Side, mountain landscape

"Bear Side"

This was fun to paint because of the thick paint and texture created with a palette knife. I created it from my memories of Montana.  I added a grizzly bear near the tree line (which was hard to render with the palette knife!)

Water Daze, sunset reflections

"Water Daze"

Just finished this last week. It took a while to figure out, but I wanted to capture that daydream feeling you get when you stare at the light dancing on the water. I took a bunch of pictures while we were fishing on Lake Okeechobee. The sun went behind the clouds and peeked through here and there. It was cold and windy, but beautiful.


The painting continues on the sides, so framing is optional.

First Time For Everthing, foal running

"First Time for Everything"



Got great pictures of this new colt running around the paddock his first time out. He had a hard time getting here, and his mother almost didn't make it. One of the foal's legs came through the rectum and the other got hung up backwards.  The mare could not move around very well after being sown back together. They were kept in a stall until she could walk some.  

When he took off bucking and running around, she would call him back each time.  He would catch his breath and then take off again! It was way too cool to watch. He lives next door to me.

I was mostly interested in the backlighting and how it set him off.  The dust kicking up was also something I wanted to try to capture.  I exaggerated the background and moved things around to create more contrast because the sunset blurred so much of it out.  I think it is one of best works!

Make a Wish, landscape with white horse

"Make a Wish"


This is just one of the wonderful scenes along Arbuckle Creek, near Sebring, Florida. I have painted many pieces from my photos of this area.


I added the white horse as a tribute to my mother, who always told me to "Quick make a wish on that white horse!"


I hid an opsprey flying out of the tree, and an anhinga sits on a limb in the water.
