The Crick

I recall being a young boy and going fishin' with my grandpa at the "Crick." I thought for the longest that was the proper name until moving to California and discovering that several things I thought were proper was improper and even hilarious to others.

Tomorrow Will Be Hot

I'm so thankful that I don't have to work in the hayfield anymore. When I was a kid that was a yearly ritual cutting hay, putting it on the wagon and then stacking it in the barn. Working the hay field and picking cotton are two things that would be on the list of punishments in hell.

Horses Welcome

This place is in New Mexico on the grand highway Route 66. I was headed to Santa Fe by way of Interstate and decided get off and see some sights. After I painted this I have wished many times that I would have been more adventurous and checked it out more.

This scene was inspired while traveling on my motorcycle. It isn't completely accurate but it is close to what I remember.

The road to Abiqui

This painting is from a photograph taken while in New Mexico near Ghost Ranch. The painting is more posterized than what I normally produce. I don't really know why I went in this direction it just sort of developed that way and I ran with it. I'm not sure if I will continue in this way but I do think this conveys the scene well.
