Plein Air on a Texas Dude Ranch

Deerly Beloved

oil on museum board

I went on a painting trip to the Silver Spur Ranch in 

Bandares, Texas.

They had tons of things to paint and I'd love to go back.

I'll share some more of my plein air paintings that I did there when I get back from the 

Plein Air Convention in Tuscon.

But right now I'm off to paint some cacti there.  Can't wait!

I have to give credit for this painting's clever title to my

friend Robin Cheers.

I was looking for something that combined the cow skulls

with the well worn John Deer tractor

and Robin said it perfectly- thanks!

You can see Robin's work here.

Thanks for letting me share my artwork with you!
