Country Rains

8x10" Acrylic on canvas panel

(Bid Now: DPW Auctions) or $60 before the first bid

I went out jogging along the farm roads just after it rained all night and most of the day. Everything was green and air still smelled fresh. The creeks swelled into rivers and the pasture lands were saturated with pools of water reflecting the skys above. Great time for a jog!

Plein Air at the Colorado River

8x10" Acrylic on canvas panel.

(Bid Now: DPW Auctions)

I had another amazing day getting out to paint, this time on a sandy bank along the Colorado River just East of Columbus, TX.  Among the many shade of green of the river, the bright sandy bank and the reds of an old truss bridge support made for a great contrast and fun composition. Such a beautiful, lazy river!

Tractor House

8x10" Acrylic on canvas panel.

(SOLD)

I saw this scene out at the property of the cattle through the tractor "house". It was about 3pm and the sun was hitting directly on the rusted tin roof making it really stand out. Had to paint it!

Country Solace

8x10" Acrylic on canvas panel.

(SOLD)

In this painting of a small pond next to a roadside, I wanted to capture that sense of stillness and quiet that comes with being in the country.

Feeding the Ducks (Hermann Park)

8x10" Acrylic on canvas panel.

(SOLD)

While spending time in Houston, I went to paint at Hermann Park.  The day was perfect and thousands were out playing in the park. I sat beneath the shade of a tree and saw some kids throwing bread to the ducks.  Immediately, ducks and swans paddled in and swarmed the area. I think it captured the fun, lighthearted mood of the day perfectly.

The American Robin

The American Robin (or Red-Breasted Robin) is usually seen searching in fields or freshly cut lawn for it's next meal.  When the sun catches it just right, it's spectacular to see.
