"Bison Portrait"

20x16

oil on canvas panel
sold

I didn't really get this close to this bull when I took his picture.  I have a nice long lens on my camera, so I'm able to get good close-up shots and stay alive.  I had painted this bison previously on an 11x14 sized canvas and decided I'd like to try a much larger one.  I enjoyed painting this one!

Riders in the Canyon

"Riders in the Canyon"

oil on linen panel

12x16
$175

This was painted from a photo I took one morning when Al and I took a hike into Canyon de Chelly.  The weather that morning was gorgeous and the lighting was really beautiful.  Just when I was about to take a photo of this scene, a pair of horseback riders rode through.  I couldn't have planned it any better!  Canyon de Chelly is really worth seeing!  It's a painter's paradise!
