A Thirsty Land
Memorial Day, 2018, found my wife and I and two close friends on the Pease River in the south eastern part of the Texas panhandle. I have always loved this area ever since my artist friend, Pete Quaid, introduced me to it several years ago. The Texas panhandle has its own unique beauty. My wife …

Whatever Your Hands Find to Do…
The man to whom God gave an incredible amount of wisdom once said: “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might; for there is no activity or planning or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol where you are going.” Ecclesiastes 9:10 There are many vocations that are “hands-on”. Building, cultivating to name …

The Cross
We all meet many people, and our paths come across many places – people with stories, places with history. When I see these interesting people and places…they scream to be painted. Most never make it off the “to do” list. A while back I was in a Texas prison on a ministry event and was …

Number Our Days…
Almost every spring since 2006 I have painted in the “Paint Historic Waxahachie” plein air competition and sale. I have painted many, many paintings in the downtown Waxahachie area, and sometimes it gets difficult to motivate myself to create another one. So, when the Ellis County Art Association, who sponsors and organizes the event, opened …

Trees
North Texas winters can be all over the map – snow, ice or close to 80 degrees. But this January, we have had some awesome days sprinkled throughout the month and hopefully it will continue into February. The temperature has been warming up to the 60’s and sometimes 70’s and the sky’s have been blue. …

When the Boys Come Home…
A few weeks before Christmas, 2016 I was blessed to create a commission piece for Byron and Sidney Thorsen, who were wonderful to work with. We connected through a contact from Weiler House Fine Art Gallery in Arlington, Texas. The Thorsens requested a painting of an old family homestead in Louisiana. I worked from several …

Art, Law and a New Year
Christmas came and went at our house like a blue northern blowing across the Texas plains. The days seem to accelerate and gain speed with each passing year. But the meaning of Christmas remains constant and immovable. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the …
