> Click here to bid. Limes. One of my favorite fruits. I love it squeezed in my water, all over any kind of Mexican food, and especially in a real fruit, pulp-and-all popsicle. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

>Sold Click to bid.I made this arrangement for my daughter’s graduation party several years ago and painted the picture from a photo. I always liked these colors together.

>Click here to bid. This round bale is in the meadow behind my house. I love how it looks in all kinds of weather and have countless pictures of it in snow, fog, etc. This picture was painted in the late afternoon when the sun was lighting up the tops of the grass in front [...]

> sold I finally did it. I’ve opened an eBay store and will begin listing my paintings for auction as I get them painted. It is time to get serious about my painting career (other than just in my mind) and this is the next step. This painting is my first listing. And this post [...]

>“Antique Breeze” 6″x6″, oil, $120. Available at River Oaks Gallery, Abilene Tx I love old things, usually more than new. Old fans are prettier and quieter.

My studio with its new yellow door. Cookie and Kitten. Minnie Mae is always so accommodating – posing just right. Oops…I forgot about my [...]

>soldWell, I just couldn’t let the cow rest in peace. It never felt finished so, even though the photo I was painting from showed smooth, new grass and no shadows (the morning was hazy), after lots of contemplation and good advice from my art teacher, Paul Friske, artistic license was taken, texture and shadows added. [...]

> “Breakfast” oil, 8×10 …a finished painting. After all this time. The photo is crooked – the horizon line is straight in the painting and I probably should have waited and taken a better one, but I’m impatient and ready to get back in the swing of things. This is my first attempt at a [...]

>Our family is about to be blessed with another wonderful son! Garrett proposed to Anna at a picnic on our farm that he carefully planned and prepared. Off they went with a picnic basket full of goodies and a ring in Garrett’s pocket. (We weren’t spying. Really, we weren’t. But I knew she’d want a [...]

> Besides our pretty cows, we also have pretty chickens. Don’t I have great subject matter for paintings? Soon, they will be laying pretty eggs; blue, green, yellow and brown. More food to paint, then eat.
