Cowboy Leading Pack Mule - Oil on Panel - 8" x 10"

The Cowboy glances over his shoulder to lead the Pack Mule on as his hat shields his eyes from the low morning sun, which casts a long shadow away from them, leading the eye towards the tree covered hills in the background.

This is a classic Western theme in a modern style - the colors are bright and separated, to form a mosaic pattern, pleasing to the viewer, who always finds something new or different to keep interest.

Manasota Key Golden Sunset - Oil on Canvas- 12' x 16"

This impressionist rendering of a dramatic sunset at Manasota Key, Florida, shows the gold and orange sky, with liquid gold poured out over the sea!

The beach cottage lies nestled under the trees in silhouette, as the last rays of sunlight lick at the windows leaving a warm glo.

The beach is in cool shadow.  This is surprisingly painted with strong blue, purple and pink colors which contrast perfectly with the yellow sky, but are still lively enough to connect with it!

This is a bold painting where strong colors are used in harmony.  A generous frame would enhance and contain the composition to the delight of any viewer!

Three Cows and a Tree - Oil on Panel - 8" x 10"

 

The three cows are reduced to basic shapes and 

same applies to the tree - just colors and shapes.

The simplicity of the painting and relatively muted bocks of color enhance the pastoral tranquility and timelesness of the scene.

A broad frame would contain the composition in space and enhance the experience.
