I did a bit of trail-riding a few years ago but never crossed a creek! This is a painting that could be called western art and I don’t do many of these.

Rows of crops segregated by a path and a barbed wire fence are in the foreground of this 18 x 24 painting. The cultivated crops are surrounded by woods…typical of a small farm in Arkansas.

Wash Day is a 11 x 14 painting with an appealing sort of simplicity. I used primary colors for the figure. This one hung for less than one hour before it was purchased by a senator.

This painting is 16 x20 which is a standard size for ready-made frames. I have tried in the last few years to use standard size canvas.


The two paintings shown today both show three girls in different garden settings. They are romantic paintings of dreamy dresses and hats. Most of us don’t look this way anymore. (I live mostly in blue jeans and paint spattered slacks) but it is fun to dream of what it would be like to be beautiful and useless! But I wouldn’t trade my dogs and work for anything!

A cafe sign and a coca-cola sign posted on an old house made me wonder–is it really a cafe or just a kid’s idea of ornamentation? I added the hydrangeas and gave it a spring time look.

This barn was located at Pocahontas, Arkansas, an east Arkansas town. The painting is 11 x 14. It had a tin roof which had weathered from years of use.


The top painting is a store on the square of an Arkansas town and the second painting I called “Eighty-second year” because someone told me that the building was 82 years old!.

This is a very small painting, only 6×8! There is sort of a rough texture to it that lends interest to the pose.

I was mostly interested in the roof of this small house! Reyno, Arkansas is a small town in east Arkansas. I have done several houses in this area.
