There is a Ray Wylie Hubbard song where he saw a dog chasing a rabbit. He asked the rabbit, "Are you gonna make it"? The rabbit said, "Well I got to"!

A study of 'Riddick', a friend's favorite cat. He does seem like a formidable character who still believes he's king of the jungle.

Desert Triptych: A study of the cycle of life in the desert. A Coyote eyeing a roadrunner who's eyeing a horny toad. We are either prey or hunter. If you don't know, you are probably prey.

Bugle Mist is a study of a bull elk. It makes me remember the fresh, crisp mountain air of Ruidoso and powerful beauty of these majestic creatures! So much fun to try and capture their magic!

Some dear friends took a leap of faith and moved to Cambodia. They bought land, built a house and embrace the jungle constant caressing their home. This is a study of their "Old Man Bee Tree", a freshwater mangrove with distinctive red bottle brush flowers housing a hive of pollinators in this paradise. I placed the bees in the Fibonacci sequence present in all of nature and even hid some Khmer symbols of "Om", the sacred sound of the Universe, representing past, present, an

Cool Hand Luke was instrumental in my young development. This movie showed me the importance of meeting injustice with determination, a strong sense of humor and the joy in existence. Life is a card game and we are all lucky enough to have a seat at the table! Fold, bluff, check or raise, just play your hand with grace, wit and love.

This painting is in celebration of our armored buddies who work while we sleep.

My daughter is a beekeeper and wanted me to celebrate these magical creatures. They are vital to our ecosystem and crucial for our survival. Without these masterful pollinators, we would perish. Life is perpetually delicate. We cherish each moment because our system is inherently fragile. We all exist because of each other. Let's always pollinate the seeds of growth and love.

A Day in the Encampment is inspired by a Huichol Indian painting we purchased in New Mexico. They were masters at narrating a story with line, shape and color. This is a celebration of the beauty in our neighborhood with the abundance of wildlife. It's like living in a Disney movie.

Inspired by a friend's beautiful photograph. She captured some amazing colors! Moments after she took the photo, the bison bounded up the riverbank and almost ran over her. Thanks Inga, so glad you survived!

A tribute to the one constant in my life, my beautiful wife, Elizabeth. A few years back she was pummeled by a rogue wave off Pemaquid Point in Maine. Suffering a broken back, knee and serious head injury, she powered through months of rehab with grace and determination to emerge the vibrant, exciting woman who helped me build our home while still in a back brace. She is my forever compass. She always leads with love. She will always be my lighthouse.

An illustrated fable of a dog relentlessly chasing a butterfly, unable to catch it, but refusing to give up. A great metaphor for pursuing dreams and goals the seem unattainable. Perseverance, determination, and an undying sense of wonder make our world a beautiful place.

Less than 100 years ago, the cowboy culture was thriving in Texas. Integrity and determination were a way of life. Today the grandkids of these legends are riding for Dell or IBM, applying the same ethos to new frontiers. Interesting concept, is honor still an integral part our work today? Are we genetically hardwired to persevere until a job is well done? Are our Cyber Wranglers faced with more or less difficult challenges?

A small study of poppies in the morning wind. The idea that these beautiful flowers have been self-propagating for centuries gives me comfort.

A study of the famous Aesop's fable on the nature of beings. Are embedded in our roles or can we shift our nature in quest for greater good?

Frank was a friend in Austin who worked four jobs to support his family. He also ran a floating craps game weekly. He was always complaining about his feet.

This phrase was used by admired elders when attempting any difficult task. Mountains are moved one grain at a time. Our foil, accomplishments, and creativity are the atoms of enlightenment. When you gain joy in the process, you are at peace.
