Finding Rosie Preliminary color study

5 X 6 Color study oil on linen $100

A young man, stolen by the Indians while very young, escapes in the dead of winter, leaving behind his little sister, planning to return for her...want to know the ending? Stay tuned...

I have been commissioned to paint the cover of the novel and this is a tiny preliminary color study that I have settled upon. The actual painting will measure 16 X 20, and the background will be frozen and indistinct, with the figure very detailed. I hope you'll feel a shiver when you view it!

Journey Home - horse in snow oil painting

4 X 5 Oil on linen panel $65
Includes Shipping and Handing

I'm eager to start the next book cover but the weather has not cooperated. Well, that isn't actually true. I HAVE gotten LOTS of snow images lately (and made my 3rd snowman of the season). But I still need to get my image of the boy-wrapped-in-buffalo-robe-on-a paint-pony. As SOON as the weather looks cooperative and I can get to Nemo to borrow the buffalo hide, we'll get this underway. I have several paint ponies available - including Tuffy. But I don't know how cooperative he'll be ridden bareback - he's just the right image, though. Little and shaggy and hard as a rock and a nicely patterned paint. The model I have in mind is a 13 year old girl who could probably ride anything we put her on. I would like to test Tuffy first, though...not only to see if he'll cooperate bareback, but also to see how he'll handle the smell of a buffalo hide. Might be worth keeping the movie camera handy...

More Texas Snow

5 X 7 Oil on Masonite $115
SOLD to a California sitcom set designer

The composition of this painting is inspired by Frederick Remington's "A Figure of the Night - The Sentinel". These are the woods behind my house. To get the feeling of cold moonlight, like Remington's painting, I need to use more Viridian - a color that goes a long, long way. If I glaze the painting with a Viridian tint, I may get there....
I shall continue the snow series. Maybe by Spring I will understand the nature and color of WHITE!
Deuteronomy 11:14
