the front


this illustrates how i see colors en plein air
when i paint outside i see so much more
i planted the bushes off to the left, they were small one gallon plants just the other day (or so it seems)

lake travis


sunsets are fast this one was done in about five minutes
the talk that night was that we people are fighting a lost cause
no one can really portray the grand beauty of the sun's rays touching the curve of earth

sunset over the bird sanctuary


port aransas is my island time place

rockport shrimp boat


barbara told me that boats are just squares, boxes in the water
i am sure this will make it easier for me to paint them next time

dutch moutain


this is near enchanted rock, in the fredericksburg area of texas
the austin plein air group spent a weekend there last spring
it is also a cattle ranch
which i believe is owned by two old heifer bulls
they are huge,twenty years old and very happy
just to the right of the painting, is an oak grove where the bulls spent the afternoon dozing in the shade

plein air iris


no, no, no not now
it was in the spring
some nasty bluebonnets got in my iris bed

before the sunrise


someday i hope to be able to get all the silly fishermen that are going out for the morning's catch
they all pose for us and want to make sure we get their best side
