"On the Horns of a Dilemma"

"On the Horns of a Dilemma"

- One that I'm working on* -

This is just the central action... it will have background details, rocks, cactus, running jackrabbits, clouds of dust... all the good stuff

Considering the times, I think this will resonate with many folks

Coffee with a Friend (new painting)

Happy cowpoke and friend enjoy a cup of joe

Prints on Paper & Canvas with framing options

Old Geezer and His Lady (WIP)

I keep several pieces in various stages of completion... if I get weary of one, go to another... this dude has been one of the cast of characters on cards I've done for Leanin' Tree since 1980... He's so purty, couldn't help giving him an encore

Fat Marshal & Slow Horse (WIP)

Making a pen and ink sketch into a painting... working on it

Nice on Canvas

The canvas wrap prints look pretty nice... 

lots of paper, frame, mat and color combos to pick from

Rooster Cogburn "pen & ink" (not)

Actually this was drawn altogether on the computer using Photshop and my Wacom pen-tablet.

I think it is amazing the kind of fluid control you can get... just like the genuine article of drawing with a pen on smooth paper... and you don't have to keep filling the pen.
