Early in this century, Grandmother Pool planted these Irises out in the yard of our ranch house. Because the yard was solid rock, she had to haul the soil in a wheel barrow and build her own raised flower beds. They bloom each Spring as a living tribute to her efforts and provide our cats with hiding places from which to pounce on whatever passes by!

The Male Painted Bunting is North America's most colorful Bird and it is common but reclusive and rarely seen. Seeing two male Painted Buntings together is even more rare and being an extremely territorial bird you can bet there will be a battle! This willow branch is behind my Studio and the patterns fascinated me!

The male Painted bunting is probably the most colorful bird in North America, but due to living in dense brush and forest, he is rarely seen. We had the privilege of caring for this beauty for a few days after he had flown into a windshield.

is the most frequent thing I hear when folks are looking at this Painting. I had just photographed the Old Dance Hall at Garfield, Texas and decided to take a shortcut back to the main road and found this delightful tree lined lane.

I had photographed this Eagle’s Nest on the shore of Lake Waco and the two young Eagles were about to fledge and fly away so my friend “Mark Chapman” and I decided to take more pictures. It had stormed the night before and we found the nest down on the ground with one young Eagle trapped beneath it and the other on the ground in shock. With the help of the Park Ranger and Game Warden we rescued the young Eagles and got them to a Wildlife Rehab Center.This painting is a composition from several pictures that i took “before the storm”!

BEL AIR MOTEL - is in Austin, Texas on South Congress Ave. South Congress was the main drag and the entry way to Austin from San Antonio before interstate 35 was built and there were many Grand Motels and Restaurants there to greet Weary Travelers. The Bel Air is still in Business and I thought it would be cool to fill the parking area with Chevy Bel Airs!

This Renaissance Revival Style Courthouse is in Belton, Texas and was designed by Jasper N. Preston and Sons and was built in 1884. This Courthouse had been remodeled and robbed of it's character but was restored last year to it's original grandeur!

This 12 sided Dance Hall located in Bellville, Texas was designed and built by Joachim Hintz, a German immigrant Carpenter and it Opened in 1897 Austin County has several old classic Dance Halls but in my opinion this is the best of them.

This barnyard is at Yoakum, Texas, where my wife's sister and husband used to live. The bull was at a nearby ranch and came up to me and just stood there. With a fence between us for security I reached out and scratched his head, which he seemed to like!

This is my third used car lot painting and after selling out the prints of the other two I went a few years and really missed having a car lot picture to show. Finally the idea for this painting hit me and this is the result. The portrait of the Big Texan on the building is a portrait from memory of the man who sold me my first used car in 1959.

When I was a teenager in Austin, a friend of mine lived behind a Car Lot named Big Volume Simmons and they sold both New and Used Cars on both sides of Lamar Boulevard. Bubba was a salesman for Simmons, but he acted like he owned the place so I made his dream come true in this painting!

The Jefferson Theater, built in 1927, is in Downtown Beaumont, Texas and "Baby The Rain Must Fall" was filmed in Southeast Texas in 1964. I'm told that Country Singer George Jones ushered there, also that the World Premier's of "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Babe" were held there and that Steve McQueen lived in Beaumont for a short time. Any resemblance to Steve on the Motorcycle is purely intentional!

Christmas 1994. This concrete Birdbath is one we've had for several years and in fact made the move from Austin to the Ranch with us. It sits out in the yard in view from our Kitchen and Dining Room and has delighted us with the variety of birds and other animals it has attracted over the years. One day as we were eating lunch, I happened to glance up and see a cardinal on the birdbath, getting a drink, I thought that, there was a Painting, just waiting to be painted and this is the result. I am forever amazed at the simple things that we take for granted every day that can be an inspiration at any given moment and sincerely believe that if everyone would look for some little inspiration or thing to be thankful for each day, that we would all be happier and our burdens would be much easier to bear!

I've been wanting to do a painting with Redbud for years and finally got the idea I've been waiting for. Normally I paint a bright colored bird in a subdued scene and this time I reversed the process with these subtly colored Mourning Doves against the brightly colored Redbuds.

This is one of the many great views between Kerrville and Leakey, Texas and I believe that's the Frio River below! I added the Cardinal on the branch to give the scene some perspective.

These Spicebush Swallowtails (Papilio troilus) are checking out the Bluebonnets which had to be in record numbers in 2007. Spicebush Swalllowtails are normally more common in East Texas but we have some here on the Ranch that didn't read the Field Guides! Spicebush Swallowtails are avoided by Birds and other predators as a result of looking similar to the Poisonous Pipevine Swallowtail.

Available for purchase:


(Papilio polyxenes) The Black Swallowtail is found across the State. The Female shown here resembles the toxic Pipevine Swallowtail and is avoided by predators because of this resemblance. The Male Black Swallowtail has yellow instead of blue on the top side of it's wings.

This is Black's Barbecue in Lockhart Texas and it has been owned and operated by yhe Black Family since 1932

Although I've flushed many a Covey of Quail in my wanderings through pastureland, I'm always totally startled when the sudden buzz of wings comes up from the ground and the Bobwhites go scattering in all directions!

These three calves were born this spring and one morning as I was feeding the herd I noticed that the way they were lined up it appeared that the colors of the white calf on the left and the reddish brown calf on the right were blending together to color the center calf!
