I was walking my dogs early one morning after a recent rain and noticed the sunrise reflecting in the water on the road and my imagination took hold and this painting is the result.

This painting reflects my daily schedule of chores at the Ranch. I'm up early and our cows are outside the yard waiting to get some Range Cubes. Cattle love Range Cubes and they will follow anywhere to get their share.

This is frequently the first thing we see in the morning, the tree is right outside our bedroom window and we have so many Cardinals on our ranch that we couldn't begin to count them!

My favorite time of day is early morning and those days when the fog rolls up our hill from the Bosque River are extra special. Except for the house, barn and windmill this is the view at the gate between our pastures!

(Written in 1984) When I travel to Houston I usually leave Austin before dawn and reach Columbus at first light. Frequently, low fog along the Colorado River will blanket the terrain for miles, creating a beautiful, quiet landscape that glows with peace and new hope.

This is what it would look like on most winter mornings if we had a windmill in our front yard. I painted the scenery from memory and then I added this Star Zephyr Windmill that I found outside of Yorktown, Texas.
Available for purchase:
Mountain Pink (Centaurium beyrichii, Gentian family) grows in ball like clumps about 12" in diameter in central and west Texas from May to August. The Cuckoo Bee is a parasitic Bee that deposits its eggs in the ness of other Bees for the host Bees to care for.

I found this Adobe Barn at Balmorhea in West Texas, complete with the old John Deere Tractor. The only change I made to this scene was to move the Davis Mountains to the north side of the barn. I know, it would have been easier to turn the barn around but this way I can say that I've moved mountains!

This Painting was printed as a Christmas Gift Print and was given to everyone who had made a purchase in the previous three years! I was riding the Port Aransas Ferry and noticed this White Pelican riding the wake. The Ferry was churning up small creatures which were being eaten by small fish. Mr. Easy, our Pelican friend, was effortlessly scooping up the small fish. While the other Pelicans were off flying and diving and working hard, Mr. Easy was making a living with very little effort. I wondered if he would be able to fly north with the other Pelicans after having it so easy and getting out of shape or if he would just stay put and take it easy all of the time. I got to wondering if I might be working too hard chasing my dreams when I could be taking it easy doing something more conventional but then realized that I would probably be bored and was thankful that God had given me a mind of my own with the ability to ponder such things!

This will be included in my 2014 Texas Wildlife Calendar. We hand raised this Squirrel when our children were little. He was our pet and his name was "Squirmy"

In March I went fishing with my friend Chuck Naiser in Rockport. We met artist Herb Booth and his son Jimmy, and all went searching for fish in Chuck's boat. We tried hard but the fish just weren't biting and soon my attention wandered to the patterns of the mud flats and water!
Available for purchase:
Mudholes in the road can either be obstacles that block the way or mirrors that reflect infinity. In life, many obstacles or "mudholes" prove in retrospect to be glistening memories that last eternally, because they were conquered or solved and have become triumphs!
Available for purchase:
This Giant Swallowtail Butterfly seems to have a decision to make, will it be Brown Eyed Susans, Wine Cups,Wild Petunia (Violet Ruella), Prairie Verbena, Antelope Horns (Milkweed), or Sensitive Briar for his morning meal?
Available for purchase:
That's Cecil Duncan on the left and Chuck Naiser on the right and we were fishing out of Rockport, Texas and frankly no records were broken that day! This has got to be the most honest fishing painting that's ever been done and if you can't relate to this, then all I can say is "you just ain't never been fishing"!

I’ve wanted to paint an Old Style Feed Store for some time. There are new ones that the owners have tried to give that retro look but this Old Feed Mill, Store is the real thing and it is located in Rio Vista, Texas, and going strong since 1946!. I have passed thru Rio Vista countless times and never saw this until I noticed a Church Steeple that looked old and went to check it out and
there a little out of view from the main road was this gem of a Feed Mill and Store! I changed very little other than adding the old truck and a few signs to an area by the door that has shelves filled with small products.

This Live Oak is on the Northeast Corner of the LaGrange Courthouse Square. In 1842, Captain Nicholas Mosby Dawson, from LaGrange, recruited about 125 men under this tree before leaving to join Colonel Matthew Caldwell of the Texas Army to resist an invasion of Texas by Mexican General Adrian Woll. Before Dawson could join Caldwell, Dawson and 35 of his 53 man force, many from LaGrange were massacred by a Troop of Mexican Cavalry. Many Soldiers have departed from the shade of this tree to defend our rights in all of the other wars since the Texas Revolution.

Frequently my paintings result from my travels around the state, however I occasionally see things in my own yard that are equally interesting. Until we had our plumbing replaced, this dripping yard faucet provided a constant water source for many of our wild friends!
