Dapple Draft

This is a painting I did a couple of years ago just to sell at an art show. It is still one of my favorite paintings I have done. I like the mood of it. I should have just kept it for myself but I ended up donating it to an auction to raise money for college scholorships. When I saw what it brought at the auction I was sick because I felt like I had just given it away. If you are like me, you always say "Oh well, I'll just paint another one to keep for myself" but that never happens.
24x24" oil on masonite.

Brother Glenn Portrait

I did this portrait recently at the request from my church First Baptist Church of Hendersonville, TN. It is a portrait of my pastor Brother Glenn Weekly who passed away last year. I felt very honored to be asked to do it. He was a great man of God and is greatly missed by all that knew him. 30x40 oil on panel.

Lisa Portrait

I did this portrait a little over a year ago. It is 30x40" oil on linen. Her name is Lisa and she is a very sweet person with a great personality. 

Haywagon #1

I have done a lot of art shows in the past and sold a lot of paintings and this one was one I hated to let go of. I always enjoy painting horses and this one was no exception. I found this image on the internet and just had to paint it. This is a 24x24" oil on masonite. I actually did another one just like it but slightly larger for another client that saw this one and was too late to buy it. I normally don't like to do the same painting twice but I actually enjoyed doing this one twice just to see if I could improve on the first one.

Turtle Jockey

I have done hundreds of illustrations for childrens products but this is one of my first attempts at doing one in Photoshop. I did a pencil sketch, scanned it, and then colored it in Photshop. Fun, fun, fun. I will be posting more like this in the future.

I'd walk a mile

I did this 11x14 oil painting a few years ago just because I wanted to. I sold it to a guy at an art show who commissioned me to to do 2 horse head portraits to go on either side of it above his couch. He thought that it would be funny to have 2 beautiful horses and one ugly camel. He had a great sense of humor and a big wallet to go with it! Yeah

Whippet good!

This is a portrait sample I did  in what I call my Sepia style. It is aprox 24x24" done on illus. board. I use Prismacolor pencils and airbrush acrylic to accomplish this look. 

White Lab

This is a sample portrait I recently did for my Portrait Broker to have to show potential clients. 24x24" oil on masonite

Warmblood Horse Portrait


This a recent portrait I did of a horse from Alabama. It was done in oil on masonite 24x24". It was done in thin glazes using Liquin as a medium so that the multi layers of color would dry overnight.
