I'm painting a lot these days and am going to enter my work in a few shows. That's Larry getting ready for a roundup 30 years ago. Also Larry with the little calf. Clementine with her beloved horse Pedro and a Vermillion Flycatcher (photo courtesy of Andy)

The longhornsteer is the second painting of this fellow that I've done. In this painting he's looking at you instead of ambling off into the dusk. I painted the mule deer with a cheap 1" brush from Ace Hardware.  I also used smaller brushes for detail, but the 1" brush was great. Painting was much faster and freer. The blue window is a house in the Santa Rosa Barrio of Tucson. The Bird of Paradise plant was a challenge.
