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.

My wife and I love to go on little excursions across Texas, and sometimes across the South when we have time, armed with a couple of cameras. Donna shoots mostly wildlife, and I am always on the hunt for, well, mostly anything that looks interesting that I might use to work out an oil or …

Do You Remember?

Painting on Oahu
Spring of 2016 turned out to be quiet a spring. The first of May I was painting in Italy (Texas), and by the end of the month I was set up on the beaches of Oahu. An awesome place to paint, and visit friends. I had to make paint box form materials from Asel Art …
