Road to Abiquiu

On a camping, hiking, sightseeing excursion to Abiquiu, NM with a couple of old timers from way back to I can't remember this was one of the many scenes that I experienced.

Fence Beauty

This is a different subject for me. When I began to get serious about painting I would look for hours at other artist work and ponder how they arrived at deciding on the subject they painted. I like still lifes and flowers but it’s not one of the things that has ever been at the top of my list.

This is from my daughter’s back yard in Fort Worth and when I saw it I knew this was a painting waiting to happen.

This small reproduction doesn’t do it justice so click on the image to see a larger version.

Across the way

This is a painting that was inspired by a scene on the way to Fort Worth. I had painted a smaller plein air piece and used it for the model of this larger piece.

Evening Shade

This started from a drawing I had in my sketch book. I don't remember if I made it up, because I do make up a lot of my landscapes, or if it came from something I had seen. But, nevertheless I believe it came out well.

By The Road

I love landscape painting and paintings of landscapes. They are chanllenging for me and a constant source of beauty. This painting was inspired from a recent trip that I made to the hill country in Texas. This was a creek running along the side of the highway near Fredricksburg.
