This Painting was printed as my 2008 annual Christmas Gift Print that was sent to everyone who has made a purchase in the last three years!
Shortly after Martha and I purchased the Ranch we traded Art for Ten Longhorn Calves and Four Horses. Just about all animals (we Humans included) Seem to have a social order where each member of the group has to find their place. Of the ten Longhorn Steers "Wimpy" ended up at the bottom of the list and had to wait until the others finished eating or drinking for his turn. I related to "Wimpy" as I had been in a similar role many times in my youth and often gave him some extra feed to make up for his being in last place. As the years wore on and the Longhorns got older, they were less likely to shove him around. (I can think of lots of parallels in my life as we all got older) At about 15 years; Old Age in Cattle years; our Longhorns began to slowly die off, one by one until at 22 years Wimpy was the last one standing and became the "Lead Steer" by default. Our other cattle (Non Longhorns) seemed to really admire Wimpy and treated him with much respect because of his 6 feet or so of curving horns. We expected to find him dead at any time but he hung on for another four years savoring his well earned position in the herd and making up for his troubled youth. Wimpy passed away at 26 years old, in August of this year and we truly miss seeing him every morning.

A butterfly spends most of its life as a lowly worm, chewing leaves, and then sleeps for several months, to emerge near the end of its life. As one of God's most elegant creatures. As people we are often like the worm, spending most of our time plodding away with our dull routines and troubles. But we are more fortunate than the worm for we have the most beautiful wings of all, the wings of imagination, and we can fly away any time we choose.

This is from a fishing trip that I took with Chuck Naiser. We left Rockport and went along the bay side of Matagorda Island where the water is crystal clear. There are three Speckled Trout in the foreground, eyeing the lure that is moving thru the water and the fish that grabs this prize is the loser!

This title is the result of my annual contest to name one of my prints. This was inspired in late February when we had a Snow and Ice Storm that shut down most of the State for a couple of days. I got this idea while I was walking my dogs and decided walk them down to Neil's Creek at the back of our ranch.

This Painting is a composition from several Fishing Trips to the Backwater Bays of the Texas Coast. Chuck Naiser is the Fisherman and was the first to introduce me to Bay Fishing and later the first to introduce me to Saltwater Fly Fishing. Recently I was given a refresher course by Bud Rowland and Del Fankhauser which got me in the mood to paint another Fishing Scene. There are two Redfish and two Speckled Trout on the stringer, the light is fading fast but maybe there is time catch one more and a Full House will beat Two Pair!
