Basket Flowers are some of my favorites, easily mistaken for thistles, but take another look, they don’t have stickers, the flowers are about twice as large and the fragrance is very sweet. Basket Flowers line the Highways and Pastures of central Texas from May to July and sometimes form huge colonies.

This title is the result of my annual contest to name one of my Paintings. This scene was inspired out at our Ranch by the Longhorn Drinking at the Edge of our Stock Tank and I added the others and cleaned up the background a little!

This Title is the result of my 2009 Contest to Name this Painting and the winning title was submitted by Carolyn Barnett of Wimberly, Texas! I found this grove of live oaks just off of State Highway 123 north of Czestochowa, Texas complete with the Cattle which I changed to White Faced Herefords for more visibility. I added the Bluebonnets, Cactus and little red roofed house!

I was driving down the highway when I happened to glance to the side and see a couple of farmers on their modern tractors talking over the fence. I thought this had some potential so I recomposed the scene using a couple of antique tractors that I saw at the Hamilton Antique Tractor Pull. For those of you who arent into Antique Tractors the Rivalry between the fans of John Deere (Green Tractor) and Farmall (Red Tractor) is sometimes quite intense. So if these two guys with their extreme differences of opinion can be friends, why can't those Muslims and Jews get along?

My Latest Original "Back Off" This will be published on my 2014 Texas Wildlife Calendar I photographed these 2 Cougars at the Waco Zoo and one of them snarled at me as I was taking pictures. I'm glad I was outside their area. Cougars are making a strong comeback in Texas, I suspect it's because of the explosion in the Feral Hog population causing an abundance of easy prey.

This cliff is near Rock Springs on the way to the Devil's River State Natural Area and is typical of lots of places in the Hill Country. I was attracted to the patterns made by years of running water on the face of the cliff ans added this Longhorn Steer to lend a bit of realism so folks wouldn't think I was doing Abstract Art!

The Baker Hotel is on the Historic Bankhead Highway in Mineral Wells, Texas and opened in 1929. The Mineral Waters from the area were said to have healing properties and the Baker Hotel was built to accommodate the large number of people coming to bathe there. The Baker was host to the Elite of the Nation and its Ballrooms featured the top names in entertainment of the era. The hotel closed in 1972 but the street floor continued to be retail space until 2000. Plans are underway to restore this National Historic Landmark!

The Bankhead Hotel is in Strawn, Texas and so far it is the only place that I've found that carries the Bankhead Name. The brick street in made of bricks from the nearby Ghost Town of Thurber. The hotel in no longer in operation bu seems to be fairly well maintained on the outside.

Due to being protected, Bears are returning to the forests of East Texas and and average of 30 sightings per year are being reported. This Black Bear lives at Waco's Cameron Park Zoo.

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”!

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.

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!
