Sheep Herder
This man was photographed by my friend, Ronnie Mosley. His ethnic hat and beautiful ring attracted me at first, but his deep eyes brought me close. The sheep was done with thick texture using several spatulas.

The Ducks
A recreation of an original painting by Alexander Koester. I first saw a Koester painting in a museum at Texas A&M University and fell in love with his beautiful work. Many of his ducks are painted in shades of blue, but I loved the warm golden tones of this piece in particular.

Japanese Archer
This original composition based on a photo depicts an archer outdoors with a stone floor, ceremonial pot, geese, and mountains added to keep a truly oriental feel. The ceremonial feel and richness of the color in his robe and background appeal to me.

Indian Elder
This is a fascinating character and I couldn’t wait to paint his beard and expressive eyes. The wizened look, bent ears, and twisted turban of this fascinating character drew him to me.

Rachel in Pearls
Rachel was painted with soft lines and a basket-weave style background. The lush feel of the velvet and the timeless quality of the pearls draped around her elicit the richness of the painting.

Madonna and Child
My study of this Madonna and Child came from a strong desire to paint a classical work of art. I thoroughly enjoyed adding washes of color to enrich the warm tones and create an ethereal look.

Ethiopian Monk 2
I painted two versions of this dramatic portrait of a female Ethiopian monk, both based on a photo taken by Ronnie Mosley, a friend and talented photojournalist. This rendition is closer to the original image in its color and tone.
Female monks have a long and great history in Ethiopia. They serve the elders of the monastery. They maintain no contact with urbanized relatives and they sacrifice their lives for God.
