Barn with Autumn Leaves--pastel, 8x10"

While finishing this one on site, the owner of the barn came out and said she wanted to buy the painting.

I saw a demonstration the day before by Bob Rhom at the Pastel Society of the Southwest meeting at Royal Lane Baptist Church in Dallas, and wanted to try some of his techniques. They helped.

Alamo--pastel, 11x14"

$125.00

I did a color pastel illustration of a hotel in this style many years ago, as a sample in my illustration portfolio. An ad agency liked it and commissioned me to do a black and white version of a new hotel in Austin, Texas, for a newspaper ad.
I thought it would be fun to do San Atonio's Alamo - from a recent photo I took - in the same style.

Dr. Lanny Hall, President, Hardin-Simmons University--oil 30x24"

I was commissioned by Howard Payne University to paint this oil portrait as he was leaving to assume the presidency of Hardin-Simmons.

San Antonio River--oil, 6x8"

$80.00

A much photographed scene in tourist brochures, etc. Working fairly fast and at this small size, I was forced to be more impressionistic, which was my intention. I 'd like to do more of the River Walk and take each one beyond what a photograph can do, in terms of color, emphasis, brushstrokes, expression, and overall mood.

Blanco State Park Dam--pastel, 8x10"

$85.00

Houston Street Garden Wall--pastel, 5x7"

$45.00

Driving down this street of old homes and beautiful trees in Kaufman, Texas, I usually can spot something that would be a good painting subject.

Tree Reflection--oil, 12x9"

$125
