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 (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.

The Noble Cardinal

8x10" Acrylic on canvas panel.

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

I took time to catch photos the past two weeks while Spring was in full color and saw this cardinal.  I tried to capture the look of nobility and pride it had.

Finding Some Shade

This is an area on my uncle's ranch near Muldoon, TX. It's getting a bit hotter in the Spring time and the longhorns hang out in the shade. Lazy days.
