The Cowboy Motel is located in Amarillo, Texas at 3619 East Amarillo Boulevard (Old Route 66!) I couldn't resist putting real Cowboys hanging out beneath the sign!
Available for purchase:
This old Chevrolet Pickup is one that I’ve used in several paintings over the past several years. I always go to the Stamford Cowboy Reunion and I don’t remember a year when this truck wasn’t parked beside the entrance to the Rodeo Arena. I think most of the Artists who participate in the Western Art Show have done a painting that included this truck, or they have at least photographed it with that idea in mind. Although I don't remember if I’ve ever met the owner I’ve been told that he works at the reunion each year. This truck has got to be one of the most aesthetically interesting I’ve seen and restoring it to like new condition would be the equivalent of destroying a great work of Art! The dogs weren’t really under this truck but that’s where any ranch dog in Texas wants to be. Certainly it’s where you will find our dogs on most hot summer days!

You can hear him first and if you are lucky you will see him standing tall and calling "Bob White" which is how this kind of Quail got its name. In the spring when the Bluebonnets bloom in Texas he seems to me to be the happiest!

The Cactus Theater, Built in 1938, is in Downtown Lubbock on what is now Buddy Holly Avenue and as I was standing in front of it, I got this idea to show Buddy cruising by in the 1958 Chevrolet Impala that was his last car. This Painting triggered the concept for the entire 1999 Calendar!
Available for purchase:
The Granada Theater is on lower Greenville Avenue in Dallas and was built in 1948. The Movie “JFK” was filmed in Dallas in 1991 but those are not the actors in the Lincoln.(You can't see the Details online so I'll tell you that's John and Jackie Kennedy in the cat and the lincoln is the same kind that JFK was assasinated in and the licence plate shows the date of the assasination) You never can tell who you’ll see Cruisin’ Greenville Avenue!
Available for purchase:
This Drive In was in Jewett, Texas and was closed down when I photographed it in 1981. It reminded me of my teenage years and the nights we spent cruising from one end of Austin to the other, with no particular goal except to look cool and see who else was cruisin’. Wow ya’ll, was that Elvis in that Merc?
Available for purchase:
This Kitten is the same one I used in my Painting “Beauty and the Beastie” except that I put him on one of our Rugs playing with a Christmas Ornament!
Available for purchase:
This was painted from memory of the way the ground looks behind our house after a hard rain, but I made up the house and barn. Everything from the dancing light of the reflections in the puddles to the fresh smell of the moisture laden air seems to reinforce the life sustaining quality of a good rain.

This title is the result of my annual contest to name one of my Prints. This Spring (2012) was one of the best for Wildflowers and the Indian Blankets or Fire Wheels were gorgeous. I was driving along and happened to glance off the road for a brief moment to see several horses in a Field of Indian Blankets.
Available for purchase:
Martha and I found this Wild Turkey Gobbler lying in the road one morning and we had apparently interrupted a Bobcat's breakfast. I've always wanted to paint a Turkey in flight so we spread his wings and I took photographs. That's our house in the background but we don't have a windmill.
Available for purchase:
This title is the result of my annual Contest to name one of my Paintings!This great sunrise is one of many that I've seen from my Front Porch that have inspired me over the years. I added the Windmill, Ground Fog and the farm in the background.

As I watched this little fellow on his father's horse this summer at the Stamford Cowboy Reunion, I tried to imagine the things he was thinking; was he chasing bandits; winning a championship rodeo; riding the pony express? I remembered some of the daydreams I'd had as a child and wondered why we seem to fantasize less as we grow up. It occurred to me that at a time such as childhood when we have the least amount of control over our lives we use our imagination much more. Because I make my living using my imagination I sometimes take for granted the great release this state of mind can provide and I can't help but wonder how much better life could be for everyone if simple daydreaming were encouraged more by our society.
Available for purchase:
Dayflower (Commelina erecta, Spiderwort family) blooms from May to October in shady places throughout Texas and the Blossoms seldom last more than a day and are replaced by continuous new blossoms. If the blossoms are picked the petals turn into a pulpy liquid. Also called Job's Tears, Widow's Tears and Elephant Ears. The Dragonfly is probably a Western Widow but I'm not sure, there are so many different color variances.
Available for purchase:
This is Dogwood time in the Big Thicket of East Texas, a pine forest as large as New England and always overlooked by those unenlightened clods who describe Texas as a desert wasteland.
Available for purchase:
Early one Morning I was walking back from feeding our Ducks at one of our stock tanks and I saw Deer grazing in the morning mist with our John Deere Tractor in the foreground and I thought it would make a good painting so I moved the Deer up closer and this is the result!
Available for purchase:
The Campus Theater is Just off the Courthouse Square in Denton, Texas and was built in 1949. Bonnie and Clyde was filmed in the Denton area in 1967 and the Premier for the Movie was shown at the Campus Theater.The real Bonnie and Clyde were known to have frequented the area so I used some old photos of them for this painting.
Available for purchase:
The Hills on the horizon are known as the Devil's Backbone and are a stretch of hills that run from Wimberly to Johnson City, Texas. This view is about 20 miles north of Johnson City and I added the Dirt road and old rock house, barn and windmill to make a better picture.
Available for purchase:
This Waterfall is just upstream from the Devil's Waterhole at Inks Lake State Park and I added the Longhorn Steer for Scale. This is my first Painting to include Granite rather than the traditional Texas Limestone!
Available for purchase:
This Romanesque Revival style Courthouse is in Cuero, Texas and was designed by A. O. Watson and built in 1897. Mr. Watson went Bankrupt building this courthouse.

I was supposed to go fishing with Chuck Naiser at Rockport but a storm was brewing and the water was too rough to fish so we decided to cancel. Later I was driving along Fulton Beach and was amazed by this fellow out on a pier, seemingly oblivious to the waves that were crashing across the pier. He must have wanted to fish more than we did!
