near St. Jo


Roadside view of a field in the Red River hill country west of Muenster and north of St.
Jo, Texas. Despite an approaching line of black squall clouds, I pulled over and setup
knowing I was going to get wet. This was painted in about 15 minutes.  I quit when I was
too soaked to work on it anymore.  It's rough and I had just sampled a Texas tempranillo
at a local vineyard, but it makes me want to try a looser, more intuitive, first guess
approach.  8" x 12"

Nance Farm


1850's farmhouse in Desoto Texas. Once on 640 acres, now cut down to 2 acres
surrounded by tract housing. Painting was started on location. 12" x 15"
