A longhorn steer strikes a serene pose during a Hill Country sunset

Life is so much better when we are surrounded by real friends.

A beautiful white horse poses with springtime flowers in a peaceful setting.

This piece was inspired by a visit to a horse sanctuary one spring day a few years ago.

Two beautiful white horses kick up their heels in this study in grays.

I wanted to capture this little guy's curiosity and energy in this piece, so I used bold brushwork while at the same time keeping the color

The challenge with this piece: how to paint a white horse on a light background without the whole thing looking flat and boring.

One of the delights of exploring the Texas Hill Country is coming across Longhorn Cattle in unexpected places.

My favorite time of day is morning, just as the sun rises and bathes the landscape in a warm, golden-colored light.

The farms and ranches of the western USA can be magical in the morning light, which is why you can often find me up before dawn...

As much as I love them, I never fully trust Texas Longhorn Cattle.

This is a palomino that I found at sunrise, out on the Wyoming ranges near the Flaming Gorge.

"Battle Scarred" is a color-and-texture-filled depiction of one of the most handsome Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep rams I have seen to date. 

For many artists, including me, dreams can have a powerful and direct influence on the work we create.

Sometimes bone-chilling cold can create beautiful patterns of ice and snow.

If you want to experience some truly magical morning and evening light, visit the Texas Hill Country.

Every artist gets ideas for new works in different ways. Some allow their dreams to lead the creative process. Others look to Nature for new

I ran across such a scene one July morning in rural Colorado. The sun cast a beautiful glow around a field of ranch horses.

In this painting, I tried to bring out the bold, rich colors of these horses along with their fire, energy, and personalities.

The idea for this piece came to me as I awoke from a dream. It was just there, in my mind's eye, finished.
