Pet Piglet

Here is a little farm boy whose Father has just given him his first pig to raise. Big responsibility for this little guy but he assures his Dad he can do it.

I love to think up stories about the people I paint because I think I can get more expression in their faces.

I have a friend who wanted me to do a painting of a Jersey Cow so here she is.

6x8 inch oil

Here is another race horse running to the finish line. Now this horse either won or was dead last since there is not another horse in sight. You decide'

6x8 inch oil

Here is a 6x8 inch oil of the San Diego Trolly at the Station. One day I'm actually going to ride on it to the end of the line and back just for the experience.

Crab Baskets

I loved this photo of an elderly man sitting in front of his home with a stack of crab baskets on his front step.

I can't tell you how much fun I had painting this subject.

It is a 6x8 oil.

Mule Skinner

Here is my version of what a Mule Skinner would look like. It's actually from a photo of a real life artist Frank Hagel who I think makes a fabulous model.

Old Tom Morris

What an interesting face this gentleman has. He is Tom Morris.

Old Tom Morris, as he was known, was the most influential figure in the early (pre-1900) history of golf. He was a great player, clubmaker, greenskeeper and course designer.

Morris pioneered many of what are now considered the first modern approaches to greenskeeping. He also was one of the first great course designers, taking a role in designing or remodeling around 75 courses according to the World Golf Hall of Fame.
Among those Old Tom helped shape are Prestwick, Royal Dornoch, Muirfield, Carnoustie, Royal County Down, Nairn and Cruden Bay - still some of the most famous golf courses in the world.
Old Tom Morris still holds two British Open records: oldest champion (age 46 in 1867) and largest margin of victory (13 in 1862). He played in every British Open until 1895. Interesting fellow wasn't he!
