You're Trespassing

 I had several names thought up like "My Pasture","What Part of Run Dont You Understand" "Go Ahead and Make My Day "or " This is  " My Field "  .  Going to leave it as is for now. but starting to like "What Part of Run Dont You Understand" better. What you think? Which One?

I tried to use color, light  and dark to tell a story.  A dark stormy sky adds drama a bull about to charge.  I had a hard time finding a reference to work from. I wanted a longhorn about to charge facing viewer pawing or other threatening poses. This is a frankenstein  reference 4 bulls to the stance body language nostrils eyes and the color.

 Longhorn fans this one is right up your ally . I had a wild animal in pastels  theme  going.  But some suggestions  spurred this to life.

This is a pastel done on Stonehenge paper natural white its 15x22 . This is done with Schminke, Art Spectrum Sennelier ,and Blicks soft pastels.  With Nupastes and pastel pencils  .

Old Forgotten Farm on the Hill

This is a multi reference painting.  One was a field of bluebonnets from a low angle and another was  old fence with a made up farm house from a sketch. 





 I tried to match the different blue a sky is from the high desert blue sky.  I had fun with it thats the main thing.

This is an acrylic on a 10 x 20 gallery wrapped canvas.

Hope you like it and thanks for dropping by.

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.
