Morning on the farm.

Morning on the farm is 60 % real and 40% fantasy landscape. Took elements from a farm I have pictures of  . Then removed fences used existing light directions and pushed it till it was in the early morning. Did some artistic license to create a painting that is very reminiscent of an actual real place but tweaking the elements to fit a composition  that gives a romantic feeling of a sunrise on the farm.








I hope you enjoy it.

It is an acrylic  on a 14 X 18 stretched canvas.

Lone Windmill Meets the Morning

I took snippets from various sources to make this painting. I aimed to make a western feel  to it  . 


To me, It portrays the possibilities and beauty of a new day.  Calm and relaxing as the new day arrives. 

This is an acrylic on a 14 X 18 stretched canvas.  

Hope you enjoy looking at it.

Windmill Near shiprock

Shiprock is always a popular theme to paint or photograph.  I was approached to paint this  scene .  I  used a photo I took last year and added a windmill to the scene .

I had it taken to My Dads place and they picked it up there. They loved it , that makes me happy.

This is a acrylic on a 11 x 14 stretched canvas.







There is a bit of  glare on the right side.

Thanks for looking.

Sundown at the Western Oasis

The old windmills once a common sight and icon the western states are slowly disappearing . They are being replaced with electric pumps and waterlines . Also ranchers and farmers are gradually going out of business and giving up and letting them rot.  I just love windmills, old farm or ranch houses old barns.  All the items of a by gone era.


This painting is a composite  from several references.



It is an acrylic on 16 x 20 gallery wrapped canvas .

Thanks for looking.
