Timeless Spirit, 20 x 24, oil on canvas

This is the first in a series of my Buffalo Bill Wild West Show Indians. The paintings depict turn of the century Plains Indians, the ones you would have seen if you had the privilege of attending The Wild West Show. The paintings are based on photos taken of the performers.

I hope you enjoy them. If you are interested in purchasing any of these paintings please Contact Me

Heart of the West Invitational Art Show

Summer Lightning, 20 x 30, oil on canvas

I will be participating in the Heart of the West Invitational Art Show in Lander, WY again this year. I've had paintings in this show several times and was awarded Best of Show a few years ago for my painting Summer Lightning.

My only objection to this show is that it was only one day long. This year the show will hang for 8 days, Sept 10 -18. I'll have more information as the show draws nearer.

Three Horses, oil on canvas, 18 x 24

I'm pleased to announce that I was awarded the Jan Stiver Painting Award for Oil Painting for my painting Three Horses.

For some reason most of the art work has been removed from their website but they do have the Award winning pieces up so take a look

Wild West!, 36 x 36, oil on linen

As I reported recently, I’m painting a series of oils based on the American Indians that preformed in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. I’m using photos from the late 1800′s as my reference and inspiration.

But what would this series be without a painting of Buffalo Bill Cody?

I’ll be sending this painting to the Greeley Western Art Invitational

Reflections, oil on linen, 36 x 30
Otter Breastplates were worn by the Plains Indians and were commonly decorated with Trade Mirrors

Fur traders introduced Trade Mirrors to the American Indians in the 17th century. Reflective surfaces were thought to have mystical powers and these mirrors were quickly adopted for use as decorative additions to warbonnets, otter breastplates and bustles, as well as for signaling mirrors.
