Bluffs of the Rio Grande
$1250
Massive, looming bluffs frame the Rio Grande, offering the only shelter from the overwhelming heat of the Big Bend National Park in West Texas. The river flows between the rugged stone monoliths, and then near the viewer, through two large boulders that lay in the rivers edge.

Beside Quiet Waters
$600
The quiet North Sulphur River of North Texas flows around a bend, coming into the view of the onlooker. Cracked clay and silt litter the banks of the river, baked by the harsh sun above, which also creates a bright sky, devoid of clouds or shade. The river reflects the oak trees growing along the bank and protecting the banks from weathering. Secrets lie in this river, known only to a few, and found by even fewer. Memories of a distant and chaotic past, but now all that remains is a quiet, and gentle river framed by trees and massive bluffs.

River Reeds
$900
Tall river reeds grow along the Snake River in the Eastern region of Idaho, creating beautiful contours of shape against the flowing river around them. On the distant shore, cottonwood trees grow, feeding from the continual water near them. In the far distance, the mountains and foothills rise, framing a light blue sky and soft clouds hovering above the the iconic river and surrounding landscape. In a custom frame, and ready to hang.

Frozen River
$225
A small river threads through rugged stones that litter the banks, and in the shadows of the dark trees, ice has remained from the end of winter. Done just prior to the terrible Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon fires of 2022, before this scene was destroyed. Done on the Hermits Peak trail near the World College in Las Vegas New Mexico.

The Farther Shore

2021
13.5" x 11.5"
Muddy Waters
$150
Four fingers of the riverbank flow outward into the Red River, north of Wichita Falls, Texas. The distinct, and iconic red, muddy color of the river can be seen, and this color study has quite the story, involving the artist stumbling upon a drug deal while alone under the bridge where this scene takes place.
2021
13.5" x 11.5"
Prickly Pears
$225
Prickly Pear cactus near Baird, Texas. Violets in the mixed mesquite and oak in the background, and bare earth mixed with ragged grass, reminders of the drought. The prickly pear hangs on, but bears no fruit this year, unable to expend the extra energy required.
