Basket Flowers are some of my favorites, easily mistaken for thistles, but take another look, they don’t have stickers, the flowers are about twice as large and the fragrance is very sweet. Basket Flowers line the Highways and Pastures of central Texas from May to July and sometimes form huge colonies.

Wild Turkeys are very abundant in Central Texas but if you go looking for them you will probably be disappointed. However if you are only looking for "a nice tree" to paint you might just stumble on to a flock of Wild Turkeys. Observe quickly because they won't say put for long!

I had a contest in my spring newsletter to name this painting, not knowing that I would have to decide from over 500 suggestions. This title became appropriate because of the Longhorn having to decide whether to stay in the pasture or navigate the rocks to water and my having to choose a name for this print!

I was driving down the highway when I happened to glance to the side and see a couple of farmers on their modern tractors talking over the fence. I thought this had some potential so I recomposed the scene using a couple of antique tractors that I saw at the Hamilton Antique Tractor Pull. For those of you who arent into Antique Tractors the Rivalry between the fans of John Deere (Green Tractor) and Farmall (Red Tractor) is sometimes quite intense. So if these two guys with their extreme differences of opinion can be friends, why can't those Muslims and Jews get along?

The Albany Ice Company is in Albany, Texas and has been in the same family since it was built in the 1920's. No Ice but a standing memorial to a time before home refrigerators when every town had an Ice Company! The Albany Ice Co. is on the Historic Bankhead Highway (first paved road across America!) which will be the theme of my 2015 Calendar. Texas has more miles of the Bankhead Highway than any other state and much of it is still drive able!

This Painting was published as a limited edition of 500 signed and numbered prints in 2005! I owe this idea to a comment made by one of my Customers last year. She said You do Storms really well and you do Bluebonnetts really well so why don't you ever paint Bluebonnetts with a Storm approaching? I couldn't get the Idea out of my head so I finally succumbed and this is the result!

Armadillos are not very colorful so I placed this one in some Bluebonnets and Indian Paint Brushes. Makes me wonder if these two flowers together might have been an inspiration for the colors of the Texas Flag. I have no trouble photographing Armadillos because they are almost blind and easy to get close to.

I was honored to have this painting published as the Poster for the 2001 show.

My Latest Original "Back Off" This will be published on my 2014 Texas Wildlife Calendar I photographed these 2 Cougars at the Waco Zoo and one of them snarled at me as I was taking pictures. I'm glad I was outside their area. Cougars are making a strong comeback in Texas, I suspect it's because of the explosion in the Feral Hog population causing an abundance of easy prey.
