Still Life in a Bunkhouse

18" x24" Oil on Masonite

In the 1800's, a cowboy's bunk was his private corner of the world.

The fellow who slept here was the prosperous owner of a rifle, a shotgun,and a brand new hat.

This was a "do over" of a painting I'd done about a year before this one. The original was done from a black and white photo. Here I've changed the lighting a great deal from the original, and was surprised how much it actually improved the composition, even though placement of the contents was changed very little.  Go figure.

Taos Pueblo, 1929

16" x 20" - Oil on canvas

16" x 20" - Giclee on canvas available

This was inspired by an Ansel Adams photograph, so of course I had to make up all the colors from out of my head.  When I had the original digitzed for reprinting I was told "yellows are the hardest colors to get right in printing", but I'd say the reprints are right on the money.

The Fiddler's Boots

The Fiddler's Boots

oil on canvas - 24" x 30"

It's the morning after the square dance and as the sun slips in through the bunkhouse window, we can see that the fiddler must have gotten a bit tipsy on his way home and just pulled off his boots, piled everything on the floor and poured himself into his bunk.
