Moose in Sprague Lake

"Moose in Sprague Lake"
oil on linen panel
16x20
$175

On a recent trip to Estes Park, Colorado, we went for a short hike around Sprague Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park.  There was a moose in the middle of the lake who posed for photos for quite awhile.  You can see how shallow this lake is; it was a perfect depth for him to wade in and feed on the vegetation.  We were told by someone from the area that moose are very seldom seen in the Park.

Graylight

"Graylight"
oil on linen panel
16x12
$165

While visiting my best friend, Renee, in Mississippi, we spent some time with her daughter, Audrey, watching her groom and exercise her horse, Scarlet, who is an Arabian- Mustang cross.  The name, Scarlet, didn't seem to fit this painting, so Renee suggested the name Graylight.  She has always been better than I am at naming paintings.

Longhorns in the Canyon

"Longhorns in the Canyon"
oil on linen panel
16x20
sold  

This is an interesting area in the Wichita Mountains that my best friend and I explored the last time she visited.  An art patron from Dallas mentioned to me that he was fascinated by this area and inquired whether or not I had any paintings of this scene.  He remarked that he thought it would make an interesting painting if it included longhorn cattle.  This painting is the result of that idea.
