Landscapes

List of all Galleries

When I first started teaching, most of my paintings were of people or horses indoors or in front of buildings, I had never done a landscape. It soon became evident that if I was going to teach these people to paint, I had better learn the fine art of painting trees. Easier said then done. Today , landscapes is one of my major focuses.

	Four On A Lark Four young calves out to see their world Black calves out to investigate the hills that make up their home.

	Bringing Up The Rear Older cows and calves tend to fall to the rear. Gathering the cattle to change pastures is just one of the jobs that is still done on horseback on many ranches. The older cows and the younger calves get tired before they reach their new pasture and must be urged on until they arive.

	Gods Light Sunset beyond the farm The colors and the shapes of the clouds are a constant challenge to me. I paint them over and over in my mind.

	Green Pastures Cow and Calf on lush spring pasture The setting of this painting is Two Tree Hill. This is my favorite view of our farm. It is on Sleepy Hollow Road, now how is that for a romantic name? This scene has appeared in several of my paintings.

	In The Cool Of The Day Black cows in a foggy valley Foggy mornings and cattle make for a tranquil, restful scene.

	Sticken Close To The Well Herford Cows Sticken Close to the well In the heat of the day, the shade of the tree and the water keep these cattle close to the well.

	The Cattle On A Thousand Hills Cows and calves on lush summer pasture The sight of the cows and calves on pasture in the summer brings all sorts of romantic ideas about the old west and cowboys and round-ups. This too is something that is slipping away from us.

	The Eagle Soars Winter landscape with eagle Winter on the Little Sioux River bottom with an eagle soaring overhead.

	The Road To Town There's just something about the fog When I see something that I just have to paint I take a picture first and then if it is still magic when I see it in a photograph I paint it. This one was even better when it became a painting.
