This painting was published on my 2007 Texas Classic Gas Stations Calendar. Rufus Monroe King opened here at 1031 St. Joseph Street in Gonzales, Texas in 1940 and built the current building in 1951. His son Rufus Melvin King took over and Grandson Rufus Monroe King II or Trey is currently running the Station Great Grandson Rufus Melvin King II is currently working there when not in school and will probably take over at some point. This was originally a Texaco Station but went independent in the 1990's You can get Full service and a Wash and Lube just like in the Old Days!

This painting was published on my 2006 Texas Spanish Missions Calendar. La Lomita which means Little Hill in Spanish is located near Mission, Texas, a town named after the mission, on the Banks of the Rio Grande. There were crude buildings built by traveling priests to stop and rest on their travels up the Rio Grande This Chapel was built in 1899 and is all that remains of a larger complex. La Lomita is included in the National Register of Historic Places.

This Painting is of one of the windows at the La Lomita Mission in Mission Texas, and the shadow from the Shutter captured my attention to the point that I was temporarily distracted from photographing the Mission itself.

This title resulted from my annual name the print contest. The branches of the Sycamore trees reminded me of lace and since this was inspired during Desert Storm, the only houses in our area without Flags and Yellow Ribbons were probably vacant. The 58 Cadillac is from the last era when I can remember so much national pride!

This Texas Ebony Tree is on the Banks of the Rio Grande at the town of Los Ebanos and is the current Anchor for the only hand pulled Ferry along the United States Border. This river crossing has been used since ancient times and is the spot where General (later United States President) Zachary Taylor invaded Mexico in 1846 just months after accepting the proclamation to admit Texas as a State in the Union in 1845. In 1875 Texas Ranger Captain L. H. McAnelly and 5 Rangers, 3 Customs agents and 4 U.S. Cavalry crossed here and fought a Gun Battle with Mexican Cattle Rustlers in the town of Las Cuevas (known today as San Miguel)

I found this old Ford “Model T” Truck near Pittsburg, Texas a long time ago, but found the Pictures of it while looking for something else and decided to finally include it in a painting! The Barn was south of Hillsboro but was torn down a long time ago!

Artists like to use old wagons in their paintings, but I think that old pickups will some day be as popular to paint. There is something about the texture of old rusty things that I find irresistible!

This will be published on my 2014 Texas Wildlife Calendar! and prints are available Coyotes are really smart and this one is part of a hunting strategy. The pack spreads out into a large circle and they all lay down and wait until a Rabbit or other game appears somewhere in the circle. One Coyote will jump up and chase the rabbit right into the mouth of one of the other Coyotes in the circle!

In my observations I've found that wild animals can often sense danger or know if a stranger means them no harm. Many times I've been able to photograph and observe wild animals at extremely close range while they were fully aware of my presence. This painting is from the Anchor X Ranch between Burnet and Lampasas, and thanks to Gardner and Mary Ann Parker I have had the privilege of roaming around and finding a wealth of things to paint!

This was at the Stamford Cowboy Reunion as I was watching the activities behind the arena in preparation for the rodeo.

According to reliable records the world's first Rodeo was in Pecos, Texas in 1883! Some disagree but since they are not Texans it's reasonable to question their credibility! This Roper was actually practicing at the Stamford Cowboy Reunion but I liked the action so much I placed him in the Arena!

is 100 miles from our Ranch on State Highway 6. More accurately it’s on the North Side of Calvert, Texas and once again I have eliminated an asphalt road, just for aesthetics! Calvert is a really neat old town from the days when Cotton was King.

Rainbows are always special events but the best ones are usually in early morning or late afternoon because of the low angle of the sun. I've never met anyone who didn't feel good when they saw a Rainbow and I think they must have been designed to cheer us up!

is at Jonesville, Texas on Farm Road 134, just west of Waskom near the Louisiana Border. The inside of this store is probably one of the most interesting you will find and was used as a setting in a Walt Disney movie.

This was inspired at South Padre Island. I'm always fascinated by the patterns in the sand etched by the almost constant wind. Sunrises on the beach are almost always inspiring!
Available for purchase:
is at the intersection of Farm Roads 8 and 219, ten miles west of Stephenville and although the roads are paved now, I used a little Artistic License and took it back in time several years, just because I like the looks of a dirt road!

This Cardinal flew into a windshield and was stunned when he was brought to my wife who used to care for all kinds of creatures. He was about as beautiful as a bird could be but when we tried to handle him to set him free, he bit and fought like a little Tiger. We sure were relieved to see him fly away.
