Longhorns

"Longhorns"
oil on linen board"
12x16

This is another painting of longhorns in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge.  I'm not entirely pleased with the white calf on the far side of the cow.  I may paint it out after it dries.  Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

An Iowa Farm

"Iowa Farm"
oil on linen board

sold

I painted this scene from some photos I took of my husband's family farm years ago.  I loved the late afternoon light.  I enjoyed painting the Iowa greens--we just don't see those colors around here.

Highway to Zion

"Highway to Zion"
oil on linen board
10x20
sold

I took the photo of this scene several years ago in Zion National Park as the last rays of the sun colored the mountains in interesting ways.  I really enjoy painting Zion, as the colors are so beautiful!  It truly is a painter's paradise.

This painting is of a fisherman fishing from the dam on Quannah Parker Lake in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge.  This is a beautiful curved dam built during the depression by the Army Corps of Engineers.
