This is Palo Duro Canyon in the Texas Panhandle and it is the Nations Second Largest Canyon! This view is the background for my earlier print "Regal Radiance" except that is is more of a close up view. I just haven't been able to get this view out of my system so I decided to paint it again reversing the subjects with the Eagle small and the Canyon Wall large.

Last year we were given a cutting from a Passion Vine that was growing wild on another ranch and Martha planted it near the fence on the north side of our yard. It grew slowly at first, until this last summer when it took over a large section of fence and bloomed. Having only seen a Passion Flower in a Wildflower Field Guide , I had no idea of how large and beautiful they were. The Passion Flowers bloomed just after I had finished painting the paintings for the Wildflower Calendar, so I decided to paint this for my annual gift print ! For this season and all seasons we would like to express our extreme gratitude to all of you who have given your support and allowed us to follow our dreams in life and we hope you enjoy this gesture of our appreciation!

This Century Old Iron Gate is the gate to our front yard here on the Ranch and is seldom used anymore because of the 20 feet of stairs to climb to get to it. These days we all drive up to the back gate where it is flat and easy to access. These Irises were planted by Mellie Pool over 100 years ago and bless our yard every spring.

This title is the result of my annual contest to name one of my prints. This scene is of Neils Creek at the back of our ranch and is a special place for Martha and I to escape to. This creek in a way led us to our move to the country because I had done a painting of a place a few miles down the creek a few years before we found our ranch.

Christmas 1983. As I hurried along one day, I passed a stream and on the spur of the moment turned around and went back. I walked down to the water and watched as it trickled on its way. I marveled at the ever changing patterns and reflections, I listened to the soft sounds as the water flowed thru the rocks and I felt at peace. I returned to the highway and got back on my way, still in a hurry, but in a much calmer frame of mind!
