June 2008 Release
Far beyond America’s great cities, beyond the suburbs and the super
highways, the majesty of America’s verdant countryside is still alive
and well. In the country, wildflowers grow in profusion. To me, these
bluebonnets, scotch broom and wild poppies symbolize the abundant
blessings of Country Living; these are the
tangible pleasures that surround you day in and day out where the air is
pure and the sun is bright. This scene might be found any place where
the hills and valleys are alive with nature’s harmony — the Texas hill
country, the Smoky Mountains, the rolling Cascades, or even my native
Sierra foothills.
Country Living takes us to a perfect day for
celebrating nature’s goodness. The white-tailed deer and ring-necked
pheasant remind us of the region’s abundant wildlife. A vintage Ford
truck, inspired by the battered pick-up that was my family’s
transportation growing up, stands silently beside the rustic farmhouse
and the ever-present barn. This painting is for all those who long for
Country Living.

perfect day for celebrating nature’s simplicities. Animals feel at peace in
this setting and make their way into the open, adding movement to an
otherwise serene moment.

living — where the air is pure and the sun is bright. During his

landscapes such as
