This title resulted from my annual contest to name one of my prints. Sunrays breaking through dark clouds always remind me that no matter how gloomy things may appear, there is always hope and of how lucky we all are to be alive and able to enjoy the beauty of this world!

A whitetail buck grows a new set of antlers every year starting with a couple of bumps in early spring--and growing thru summer with a heavy soft cover called velvet--by Fall he's rubbed off the velvet and proudly carries his head high as he goes courting!

The Majestic Theater, built in 1929, is in downtown San Antonio on E. Houston Street and was the largest theater in the South at the time. The Movie "The Alamo", was filmed in 1959 at Brackettville, Texas and seemed appropriate, since the real Alamo is just a few blocks away! Recognize any familiar folks in the Truck and 55 Chevy?

This painting was inspired between our ranch and Waco early one morning as I was headed out to an Art Show. The trees and sky are pretty close to reality but I added the Deer and farm house to inject a little life into the composition.

Buffalo Gap is near Abilene and was the gateway through which the great Buffalo herds migrated to the grasslands of South Texas. So numerous were the Buffalo that the herds stretched as far as the eye could see and took several days to pass by. On a quiet day, if you listen carefully, you might still hear the echo of their thundering hooves.

This painting will be published on my 2007 Texas Classic Gas Stations Calendar. This Sinclair Station is on the northwest side of the square at Albany, Texas and it was built in 1935. There are numerous old Stations of this design but this is the best example of this style of Station that I have found! It closed down sometime in the 1960's and was used as a Bus Station and Bait Shop and sat vacant for many years until Brothers, Hank and Ted Paup purchased and restored it in 2004.

Please excuse my plagiarizing this title from a popular song, but I just couldn’t get it out of my head! The most unlikely time of day for an Artist or Photographer to get inspired is high noon when the shadows are the least interesting, so I was pleasantly surprised to see the shadows from the planks of this dock as we pulled up to get lunch while fishing in the Laguna Madre!

This title is from my annual contest to name one of my prints. The setting for this painting is the Texas Panhandle; but it could be any other flat spot in Texas, and the reason they call it big sky country is pretty obvious. My main reason for painting this was the dust trail behind the pickup, a sure fire way to know someone's headed your way!

The Palace Theater is Just South of the Courthouse Square in Seguin, Texas and was built in 1947. I came there to see the Texas Theater which is no longer open and in the process discovered the Palace! The Last Command, about the fall of the Alamo, was filmed in 1955 near Brackettville, Texas. I don't know if Fireworks are seen in the direction I've shown here but I imagine the evening of the 4th of July is a slow night at the Palace!

This was inspired on a Fishing Trip near Rockport, Texas, where a Squall can come up with almost no warning and it's best to head for land. We couldn't outrun this storm and got totally soaked before we got into port.

Martha was having brush cleared to put in a Patio and I found these two Havard Agaves in a pile of brush to be burned. These agaves had been planted at least 30 years prior but due to being in the shade they had only grown about 12 inches. The Agaves had been cut off at the Roots and I thought that they were dead but I figured that they would stay green for a few days so I propped them up in front of our Showroom figuring they would stay green for our Open House. The Agaves put down roots and flourished in the sunny spot where I had placed them. Last year I noticed a Monarch Butterfly Chrysalis had been adhered to the leaf of one of the Agaves and when Spring arrived I checked the Chrysalis often hoping to watch the Butterfly Emerge. One morning there was a hole in the Chrysalis and I realized I had missed the Butterfly's Grand Moment so I did this painting to commemorate these Small Miracles.
