These are not Pigs or Wild Hogs, they are Javelinas or Collared Peccaries and are not even related to Pigs. Javelinas are a Native species that are found in arid regions of Texas and the Southwest. They eat mostly Cactus and Insects and rarely weigh over 40 pounds. A friend of a friend had a pet Javelina and I shot lots of photographs!

This is the corner of First and Pecan Streets and the signs on the buildings with the exception of Howard's Drug Store all exist today. I talked to Bruce Slaughter who worked at Howard's Drug Store in the 50's and designed the front of the building to hopefully look appropriate!
Available for purchase:
This is the Southwest Corner of the Courthouse Square. None of the Businesses shown here exist today because I took the scene back in time thanks to information from Bob Scott, Boyd Waggoner and a picture of Shields Ladies Ready to Wear furnished by Bill Hensley and I designed all of rest of the signs.
Available for purchase:
This is the corner of Grand Avenue and Lott Street and is referred to as Victory Square although there is no square. I took it back to look as it might have looked in the early 60's. I was given the names of the businesses in those days by Marie Jo Knippa who had her first Date at the Ritz Theater. None of the Businesses shown here exist today so I designed all of the signs.

I found this row of old buildings on the outskirts of Pineland, Texas and my imagination went into high gear. The Sunglo Feed sign suggested early morning and I created the rest, added the Cars, Trucks and People and Breakfast is Served!
Available for purchase:
is one of the most prominent Mountains in West Texas and rises to 8085 Feet. On a clear day you can see El Capitan from 50 miles away. I made a special trip to photograph El Capitan and was impressed by these Giant Boulders that look like they were tossed there like Marbles by some giant child. I added the two Horses and Riders to show the scale of the Boulders.
Available for purchase:
Enchanted Rock State Park is between Fredericksburg and LLano, Texas and is the largest Granite Dome in America. It was considered sacred by the Native Indian Tribes and the sounds emitted by the rock due to heating and cooling have been the source of countless legends and superstitions.
Available for purchase:
FALLS ON THE BRAZOS - This Waterfall spans the entire width of the Brazos River just downstream from Marlin, Texas and I belive it is the widest Waterfall in Texas. These Falls were an obstacle to Steamboat Traffic on the Brazos before Railroads took over the moving of freight in Texas.

This is low tide on the Bay side of South Padre Island and I always find the patterns of the Tidal Mud Flats fascinating, especially at Sundown with all the great colors. I envy the sheer flying skill of Pelicans as they glide for hundreds of feet with little effort and a single wing flap will take them another 100 yards while scooping up a few fish.

Several years ago I was visiting a ranch near Vanderpool and was walking in a Box Canyon lined with trees and a delightful creek and I came upon several Horses and thought the scene would make a good painting. I took some photographs and apparently misfiled them until recently when I rediscovered them and this painting is the result!

This is Fort worth Fire Station # 2 at 1000 Cherry Street in Downtown Fort Worth. Built in 1930 and designed by Herman Paul Koeppe in the Zig Zag Moderne style of Art Deco Architecture. I exaggerated the tower a little because I wanted to show it a little better1
Available for purchase:
Station #18 is located at 1908 Carleton Street and Camp Bowie in Fort Worth. This station was built in 1923 and is the oldest in Fort Worth that is still in use. The Bungalow Style architecture was designed to blend in with the Neighborhood.
Available for purchase:
Located at 1002 Fort Worth Drive in Denton, Texas, opened for business in 1954 as Mr. Frosty and was remodeled to it's present look in 1964. Founded by the late Jack Webb, his son and current owner Randy Webb has worked there all of his life and Randy's Mother Judy webb has cooked there since Frosty opened in 1954! It took me two days to find a time when they weren't swamped with customers to get this information and that says a lot about the quality of the food there!
Available for purchase:
This "Steamboat Gothic" house is in Coleman, Texas and is one of the few in the state. In reality it wasn't in quite as good condition as I've portrayed it, but has been fixed up since the painting was done, To Martha and I this painting is symbolic as we now have our child rearing days behind us and are looking forward to the coming "Golden Years"!
Available for purchase:
When this building was new it was the site of the Hallettsville city hall and fire station. The building was built by Ball Construction Company of Brenham. The building was dedicated on July 9, 1926.

This is the Bay side of South Padre Island at low tide and is a scene that I've been wanting to paint for some time but the composition just hadn't formed in my mind until I was looking thru some photographs from a fishing trip in the Laguna Madre and remembering heading back into Port at dusk and this is the result!
Available for purchase:
This was painted from memory of several drives thru the Texas Hill Country and from my Boy Scout Days on Bull Creek at Camp Tom Wooten which was way out in the country at the time. All of that scenery is now developed and part of ever expanding Austin.
Available for purchase:
These Longhorns lived their lives on our ranch and have all since passed away. I was browsing some old photographs and was compelled to paint this scene. The Longhorn on the left was named Fajita, the center Longhorn was named Taco and the one on the right was named Enchilada.
Available for purchase:
This started out as an enlargement of a small painting that I had done previously with cattle but I dreamed about painting horses instead. The two Bays were ours and the Palomino belonged to a friend!
Available for purchase:
I was with Jack Horne at his ranch near Coleman, Texas and we stopped to talk with a friend of his. I thought two pickups stopped with drivers talking would make a good painting so I got out to take pictures when several horses ran up and tore into the feed sacks in the truck, stealing the feed that was intended for Jack's Cattle!
