Cattle Off the Beaten Path in East Texas Piney Woods, Pastel Art

My trademark phrase, "I paint the sauce of Texas" refers to scenes like the one in this painting. In my eyes, this is the sauce of Texas. Riding through the pasture counting cows with Dad, I snapped photos as he drove, photos for painting reference. More such paintings to come, you can be sure.

My paintings nearly always show an event or a day from my life. 

On our last drive through the pasture to look at cows, Dad wanted to drive through the woods to the back side of the farm. We did. What appears to be a curve in the road ahead is actually a small pond. The road curves left, then right, and narrows as it crosses the dam of the pond. Dad chuckled as I maneuvered the Jeep across that narrow dam. Good memories.
