I’m a bit late in announcing this but better late than never. I hope you got the chance to see the Dec issue of Cowboys and Indians magazine. They had a nice article about me on page 74. It wasn’t exactly accurate. I have NOT gotten bored with painting American Indians and I continue painting them. Click on the image above to read the article

I’m a BIG fan of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. I have over 300 copies of that book with many different illustrators.

I’ve been wanting to do a painting based on the book for quite some time. A Mad Tea Party is my favorite chapter so that is what inspired this still life. “It’s Always 6 O’clock” is oil on canvas, 24 x 30.

I’ve used this battenburg lace in several of my paintings and I think I’m finally figuring out how to paint it

I am pleased to announce that I won the Best of Show award at the Heart of the West Invitational Art Show and Sale in Lander, WY. 40 western artists from throughout the U.S. are invited to this show & sale.
