It is one of those rare times when I don’t have anything new to show you. It is not that I haven’t been busy, but I don’t have any paintings to show you yet. I am working on another Time Traveler, another Galveston Trolley and some Shelf Art commissions. In the middle of all of […]
Wall of Vision & Reflection
The Viet Nam war was an awful chapter in our history. Like all wars … lives are stolen, loves are lost, and possibilities are only dreams. The Viet Nam war devastated our country and the world. The families, the children and the friends of the war suffer still today. My family like so many has […]
Years Ago
It is cold outside, the leaves are turning. Those that survived the grueling summer are dropping to make a carpet of future mulch. We have a fire in the stove. It is warm and toasty in here. I am in my chair in front of the fire. I find it mesmerizing to watch the flames […]
Deer Season–be careful
Every year dear season rolls around making all of these precious creatures at risk. I am always conflicted about deer season. We feed them all year and cheer them on as they grow and prosper. We love to see them as a part of our environment. But then, this behavior on our part encourages and […]

Just Resting
This is a study one of the scenes from my Cuvee collection. I have been wanting to paint this for a while, because like so many of the old tractors, portable livestock chutes, trucks etc. that the dot our countryside — it tells a story– This tractor stands as a sentinel watching over the land […]
I wish we could just fly away.

I am back in the Studio !
I am so happy to be able to spend some time in the studio. I have been occupied with way more domestic and yard activities than I am used to. Dee had a total knee replacement the middle of March. She has been an exemplary patient. Her Physical Therapists and physician are very impressed with […]
Unfinished
I titled this painting “Unfinished”. The beautiful young model for this painting got busy and couldn’t sit anymore for me. I think that it would have taken 2-3 more sittings to finish this, but alas it would not be. So the obvious–the painting is unfinished, but the other reason being is that this beautiful young […]
The Trolleys are Back!
I am so happy to see the Trolleys back in Galveston. I managed to get some pics of both the green and red Trolleys. This is the first one that I have painted. If you have been reading my blogs for a while… I have talked about how my brother Mike painted about 20 images […]
With an Attitude
I would like to think that everyone who lives life “with an attitude” is being true to their real self, while working their way into confidence. This little wren makes me think of how some of us show up to life with an attitude. We, or at least I am, acting out an attitude to […]
