Building Trust $1800 (Oil on panel). I could think of no better way to introduce myself than to offer something I felt was of value. Even though I had already taken a bite out of the apple, I hoped it still might seem a kind gesture. My goal was to touch that velvet soft muzzle but that’s not something one can do without first Building Trust.
Hey Buds $1074 (12×24 Oil on linen panel). Nothing, I mean nothing gets past this crew. They know every vehicle that goes by and they have their favorites. As the evening sun sets, they wait for their absolute favorite. They know the sound of it and I don’t doubt they can hear the key click in the ignition from a mile and a half down the dirt road. Yep, it’s the hey truck and that’s the one they love the most.

Return to Morro $3500 (16×46 dry pastel on panel). every inch of this piece is filled with the excitement of the sea as I recalled standing on the shores along the coast at Morro Bay, CA, with my heart pounding faster and faster as each wave struck the rocks in front of me.

Clairmont Smiles $875 (11×14 dry pastel). Clairmont thinks a lot. He spends the first part of the morning searching for a sunny spot for grazing. He likes his grass really green, like crayon green.He has to think about where the sun will be and when, so he can get positioned correctly when the sun hits that perfect patch. That’s a lot of thinking for Clairmont. He doesn’t worry so much about the evening sun. To be social; in the evenings he will eat just about anywhere. Life is good for Clairmont. Clairmont smiles a lot.
