Producing art is what I do for a living -- heart and soul -- it is in me to do. Whether it be commissioned art, commercial art, or fine art of my own choosing. I like it all! Born and raised on Nebraska cattle ranches, I have a great love for nature, wide-open spaces, the land and its inhabitants. These are depicted almost exclusively in my artwork, which is accomplished in a realistic style. What makes me paint or draw a particular subject can vary. Sometimes I am so awed with a scene or its colors that I want to try to preserve it on paper or canvas and share that scene with anyone who might have missed it! Other times I am so delighted with all the lights and darks, smooth and rough textures, and so forth, that I am compelled to see if my eyes can see it all and if my hands can record it. And sometimes I simply try to pass on the humor and wholesomeness of people and events that I am encountering on life's highways. What a joy! To me the entire process of beginning and developing an artwork, watching it evolve, and finishing the artwork is quite fascinating and fulfilling. Therefore, it is especially gratifying when viewers of my art "see" in it what I had seen and felt while developing the artwork, or when viewing the original, live scene.
