Fence Grid

Fence Grid is a 20" by 24" oil painting on panel.

In the background was an erroded hill; I was interested in the interaction of the fence pattern, the shadow patterns, and the lines created by the erosion. This piece is now housed by my brother.

Fenced In

Fenced In is a 16" by 20" watercolor painting.

I was experimenting with the contrast of leaving the fence elements unpainted in contrast to the horse and barn. This was a nice horse in real life. I think my dad built this fence. My dad loved to build and maintain fences.

Keeping Time

Keeping Time is a 20" by 30" pencil drawing.

A drawing from Cheyenne Frontier Days. I liked the pattern of the wire fence overlapping the horse and rider, lending an element of abstraction to the realism.

Mud Hens

Mud Hens is a 16" by 20" prismacolor pencil drawing.

These horses had been rolling in the mud, producing a texture on their coats which was echoed in the erosion of the wash behind them. I was also drawn to the expression on their faces as they shared a moment. In these drawings I was just starting to explore adding colored pencil to my previously all black and white drawings.

Brook Trout

Brook Trout is a 14" by 24" oil painting on panel.
