Texas Cowboy

I don't know who this is. I was hoping to take fabulous cow faces pictures at the fair. This was the first cow face I saw that day. Turns out when I had the filmed developed, there was an arm in front of the cow face. Otherwise, the cows were in their stalls showing off their rears.

Cougar

Vintage Painting. I took a picture of a cougar at Northwest Trek in Washington State which I turned into a painting. This was one of my earlier works of painting animals.  The wolves in the next partition were being very active so the cougar had its ear back listening to what they were doing while looking at people.

This painting I had up for sell at an art gallery. The gallery owner stuck this painting in the window. This young man age 11 would run to the gallery after school and just stare at this painting for an hour or two before heading home. I used to make the drive up to this small town to give art lessons on Saturday morning once or twice a month. The Saturdays that I was there, he didn't show up. The Saturdays I wasn't there, he would be standing on the outside art gallery just staring at it. I was going to give him this painting. The art gallery closed several years ago.

This young man biggest desire a few years back was to be an artist. He doesn't know.. but when I visit an local art competition for children/Teens, I look for his work. I stare at it.

9"x12" Oil Painting on Canvas

I have done this painting also on hardboard. This one I done for eBay.

This afternoon I asked my dog if she had her dinner. She walked to the refrigerator and gave me this look, "No, I didn't have dinner yet". She watched me get out her canned food then walk over to her dry dog food. I am about ready to put her food in her bowl when my better half said, "She had dinner".
She gives me this look, "You've gotten this far, how about a little canned food in my bowl anyways?"
