Bison Calf

"Bison Calf"
oil on linen panel
6x8

This is a very small painting of a bison calf.  Several years ago, we were driving through the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge when we drove past a herd of bison with small calves.  I wish we had had a movie camera, for they ran alongside the car for quite a ways.  The herd stopped right at a parking lot in front of the prairie dog enclosure, so we were able to park there and take numerous photos of the mothers and calves.  This painting is of one of the calves we saw that day.

Rugged Rocks

"Rugged Rocks"
oil on linen panel
12x16

This is a painting of a scene in Estes Park, Colorado.  We camped near this lake several years ago, but the campground was not there the last time we visited the area.  I really enjoy painting rocks; its one of my favorite subjects!
