WIP - A Chance Find (bathers)

This has been an ongoing work in progress that is undergoing quite a bit of changing and correcting.  Here is a progression of photos from the current state of the painting back to the beginning!  I will update this same post as new work is added to this painting.  In reverse order showing  the full painting view...

The two above show the new face on the female centaur and a bit of refining of her body

New Work - Sparring Bucks

   Golds and tans of the Autumn landscape frame a small clearing where two whitetail deer bucks test thier strength and cunning against one another while a mildly interested doe watches thier antics.


   This one-of-a-kind small format artwork is suitable for traditional framing, and, it measures 5 inches by 7 inches. It is an oil painting on archival, 1/8" thick hand-prepared hardboard panel, and, is signed on the front, and, titled, dated, and, signed on the back.

sketchbook - Sheriff's Posse

I photographed this guy back in the late '80s. He was a member of the Tarrent County Sheriff's Posse and was waiting to go in a parade with the other Posse members. It was a cold wintery day and the wind was whipping the horse's mane and tail around and both horse and rider looked like they would rather be somewhere warmer! Again, this sketch is about 4x6 in my leather book.
