Western

List of all Galleries

The first time I saw pictures of the mountains I said "When I grow up, I want to go see the pretty mountains." I have had a love affair with the west my entire life. Cowboys, horses and mountains are all I have ever wanted to paint. I am still the happiest when these elements are in my work.

	Body Language Cowboys Standing by the Bucking Chute "You want to paint what?"

	Branding Pen Calf ropers making plans on which calf to catch Cowboys preserve the ways of the old west

	Building A Loop Roper preparing for his run Heading and Healing is one of the fastest growing events in rodeo today.

	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.

	Little Britches Little Girl on Her Horse I saty she is watching the other contestants, you tell your own story.

	Patient Partner Roping horse tied to trailer The roping horse relaxes at the trailer until it is time to go to work.

	Renewed Old Saddle with our Flag The saddle and the flag go together like cowboys and patriotism

	Sergio Cowboy on a young colt Gentle hands and a soft voice reep huge rewards

	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 Hand Of The Whisperer A Gentle Hand A gentle hand makes for a soft mouth. Training a young horse on the open range.

	To The Ready Branding day, sorting the calves The action was so fast that day that shooting pictures took on a whole new dimension. It became a matter of composition and action.

	Wisdom On Her Lips Two Indian women in conversation These two old friends are deep in conversation, one can only guess what they might be talking about. My guess is that they were discussing their grandchildren and how much fun it is to see them at their first pow wow.
