This portrait of my artist friend was painted from a photo I took at the plein air competition a few years ago. A gift to Bonnie
The other portrait came from a photo by Denny Dakan and a war shirt designed by Indian artist Ron Schumacher, newphew of Ann Strange Owl from Charlie Eagle Plumes.
The war shirt was ordered and designed by Billy along with Ron but was never made. The war shirt was painted from a design shared with me by Ron.
The War shirt painted for and gifted to the Artist’s Charitable Trust Auction in Loveland, Colorado.
This is a framed composite of giclee prints of 3 separate original oil paint portraits.
Cascade Falls Point William Sound Alaska. 4′x5′ oil painting commission
This was a fun 3′x4′ oil painting commission. The Owner provided a wonderful photograph and after a visit to their house we decided on the size and I described how I would create a stylized painting beyond the photo. The painting enhanced the colors of the house and was brought to life by enhancing the movement of the waters and melding complimentary colors into the composition. The thick expressionistic brushstrokes added interest to the subject.
This is the artist’s son Eric. We’ve spent a lot of time in the Colorado mountains.
My daughter just visited me a couple of weeks ago. She’s a wonderful chef and hiking buddy. Its good to have them visit.
My daughter and I spent a few days together hiking and exploring the mountains.

This is one of my favorite horse scenes. I have been thinking about painting it again on a 2′x2′ gallery wrap canvas.
The war shirt was ordered and designed by Billy along with Ron but was never made. The war shirt was painted from a design shared with me by Ron.
