Mountain Views

8 x 10" Acrylic on canvas panel

(SOLD)

This is from memories of the red soils and pines of Bastrop, TX and my memories of the Blue Ridge Mountains in NC.  I hope a place like this exists!

Austin Currents

11 x 14 " Acrylic on canvas panel

(SOLD)

Last Thurday my friend and I went to Austin to paint a scene around the Longhorn dam with the Austin Plein Air painters group. Downstream of the dam is a serene, calm place with limestone rocks and plenty of wildlife to enjoy. If you follow the river's edge on the side by the softball fields, you'll find this scene under the shade of large Cottonwoods and Sycamores.

The Old Blue Well Pump

8x10" Acrylic on canvas panel

(SOLD)

This is an old cast iron well pump propped up on an wood box at Grace Ranch.  It still has remnants of blue paint from it's past life and captures the character of ranch life well.

Grace Ranch Horses

8x10" Acrylic on canvas panel

(SOLD)

I was out at Grace Ranch again plein air painting and the curious horses came to see what I was up to. 

Country Rains

(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!

Sedona View

This is a view of the Sedona area of Arizona where many rock climbers go.  What a beautiful place!!

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!
