This painting was painted from an old photo of a barn that was torn down years ago.   The title is not very imaginative.  If anyone can give me sugestions for better titles for this or any other painting, please help me out.  I'd really appreciate your input!

This painting was painted from a photo I took in Fredericksburg, Texas, on a recent trip.  These sheep were in a field next to our campground.  Our chihuahua, Pepper, was very annoyed with me that I was taking so long taking pictures.  The last rays of the sun were lighting up the sheep and the colors were very warm.  I always enjoy painting mothers and babies, in whatever species.

This was a good excercise in painting rocks--one of my favorite subjects.  I took the photo several years ago in Colorado while on a hike.  I used different colors than I've used before to paint the rocks and I like the results.  I'm always experimenting with new color combinations--it makes life interesting!

I am teaching another workshop this coming weekend and painted this scene in preparation.  I'm planning on painting this scene of the river in Telluride, Colorado, for a demonstration.  I worked from a photo I took years ago on a jeep trip to Telluride.  We usually camp in Ouray, and take jeeping trips over the old mining roads throughout the area.  The scenery is amazing, especially with the fall foliage!

Today I finished this painting of a small bison calf following the bull of the herd.  I am glad to be finally back to painting after our summer trips to Colorado and Iowa.  I taught a one day workshop in Weatherford, Oklahoma on the 22nd of last month and have been catching up on projects around the house.  I had painted this subject a few years ago and decided to try it again.  The results were quite different the second time around.
