This is just a selection of the paintings I've done, from the most recently completed, to those I finished a longer while ago. Hope you enjoy.

I wanted to practice painting horses, and asked for references I could use--one of the other Luna authors (Caitlin Brennan, who writes the books with white horses) pointed me to her website with pictures of her horses. This is based on one of the photos she took. I've touched up the background since this photo was taken of the painting--when the paint dries, I'll take a picture of the revised version--but I'm rather pleased with it...

This is a little (5x7) landscape of the Texas Panhandle in early spring. I framed it in a leather-wrapped frame one of the local ladies makes--her husband is in the custom saddle-making business, so she has access to all his leather scraps. I like the way they look together.

This is another of the little landscapes I did, but at sunset. I really liked doing them, so I ordered some more of the little hardboards to do some more.

I had the photograph of the roses a long time before I worked up the nerve to try to paint them. And they were as hard as I was afraid they would be. Probably won't tackle roses again for a while, unless I get very, very abstract.

I did this one for my brother-in-law for Christmas, as he loves all things longhorn...haven't given it to him, yet, but we're heading downstate in a few weeks.
The blond cow is Elsie and the redhead is Bessie.

I think I've been on an animal kick--er, exploration. These racehorses are supposed to look blurry--like they're racing. I rather like this one, but the colors don't look quite right here. The lead jockey's silks are actually bright purple.

I liked this winter painting with the sheep.
It's a smaller painting--in my breakfast room right now.

I painted this one a couple of years ago and just never posted it-- not sure why. It's a painting of Shiprock in the Navajo Nation in New Mexico. I gave it to my friend Belinda who went with me on our research trip through New Mexico. I didn't get an actual picture of the Shiprock when we drove by it, because Belinda was trying to take a picture with her camera while she was driving and I had to take it away from her and take pictures of the rock with her camera. This painting is from a postcard.

"Moon Over Memphis"
I like the painting better than I like the picture of the painting. I did this one with a black underpainting, from a photo I took between Memphis (Texas) and Estelline.

I've been working on paintings of Texas scenes and Texas wildflowers--some turned out (like the Memphis one and the pink bluebonnet) and some haven't. (And no, I haven't posted it--I'm going to paint over it and try again.) The Texas paintings are all from photographs I took myself.
I have more paintings...link here for those I completed earlier...
