Red Sky at Night

Boy did I same money for Acrylic paint on this one. Just red and black. Looks like a more difficult one to paint but actually it was one of the easiest I've done. Almost like "paint-by-numbers" draw the shapes on the red background then fill them in with black paint. The sky was a little tricky I guess.

Evening Flight

A scene right out of the deep north. Canadians coming in for a landing for the night. Canadian Geese are probably the nosiest game birds there are - this would NOT be a peaceful quiet time!

Danger Bay

Rough Seas turned out so well that I went on and tried to make the sea even worse - and it worked!

Rough Seas

Rough Seas was my first attempt to paint ultimate action on the water and it turned out pretty good.

Winter In The High-Country

Captains Lewis and Clark found out, the hard way - winter in the high-country can is beautiful but can also be dangerous. For the most part elk, deer, moose or any other game animal that could be used as food, vacates the high plains when winter arrives and heads for lower elevations where the snows are not so deep.

Windmill

All through the northwest you can find these relics to a time long gone. Today water is drawn from underground wells through electric-run pumps and into watering systems that are completely automatic.

An Eye On The Maiden

The young buck is more interested in the white buckskin clothed young lady at the water's edge than on any advancing threat!

The Rocky Mountain Front

"The Rocky Mountains be the marrow of the World"
says Dell Gue in the movie, "Jeremiah Johnson." And how right he was!

Flyover

Normally I don't do requests, but this one time I made an exception. A friend wanted a painting of a pair of Bald Eagles. The work was to be given to his granddaughter and her future husband at their wedding. My friend says that Eagles mate for life and if one were to pass, its mate would also die soon after. Hence the sign of a pair of Bald Eagles is a strong symbol of unity. (I don't know if what my friend says is true or not, but it sure sounds good!)

Maria's River Hunting Camp

This is a rather special painting. Again this one was painted from a photograph, one that I took while standing in the doorway of my camper on a cool November morning. It's Hunting Season 1995.

Over The Divide

In this painting the man in the headdress is riding an Appaloosa. This breed of animal was introduced by the Nez Perce Indians. The Nez Perce home range was west of the Great Divide.

Three Women In The Grass

Once this painting was finished I racked my brain for several days, trying to come up with a suitable title. But there was only one that fit - "THREE WOMEN IN THE GRASS" - what else?

The Race Home

My most favorite subjects are Indians and the Indian way of life (pre-white men arrival)

Best Friends

This painting hangs on the wall of the President of Rustle Reality. We gave this work to Kyle Haney for such great service. Kyle sold our home on 14th Avenue South, Great Falls, for what we wanted and in three days - What a Real Estate Agent.

Alaskan Hunting Camp

Smoke rises from a camp fire in the distance. If you're real quiet and listen carefully you can hear the haunting mournful cry of a red-eyed loon

Spring On The High Plain

Up on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, east of Glacier National Park and just south of the USA/Canada border you can find settlements of the original Americans, their homes many miles apart.
