Color of the West

Thanks for dropping by! Welcome to Color of The West, which includes my paintings of donkeys and burros, Longhorns and other cattle, bison or buffalo, goats and barnyard animals, and wildlife like wolves, owls and rabbits.  I've recently added some landscapes and old cars, and even a still-life or two, provided the subject has character. My goal is to connect the viewer to the spirit, personality and emotions of animals as individuals, and to generate smiles. I hope you enjoy my colorful original paintings of animals of the West, and other fun stuff!

Look for the feature article on me in the August 2018 issue of Southwest Art
