“Old Country Road”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
A quiet evening interlude, out of wind and sun, yet full of fall coloring. I drove past/through it twice before recognizing its potential. With autumn colors at their peak, it was difficult to make a single choice…
“Rains, Roads, Puddles”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD
It was raining all day today. I thought I’d have to do a studio still life. I went in the studio and looked out at the barn and saw all these puddles reflecting sky where once was dry earth.

“Mine Owner’s House”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 US

It is a record of the time of day and the exact place where I discovered I had a flat tire. I was very lucky that I carry a mini air compressor and was able to fill it to get me on my way. No one would have found me where I was. However, I did have to stop at the Border Patrol check point and do a refill to get me back to my hotel room in Alpine… And I awoke many flocks of doves as I drove back out of the ranch after sundown, hence the title…

This painting was started in August. I had just gone out on a dog walk and saw these clouds. I had to end the walk and grab my easel and paint this scene before the clouds disappeared. The poor dog never did know why the walk was so short…
