Vera Cruz Mexico, Oil on Panel, 30" X 48" This park has special significance for my brother and I. We went to Mexico with hopes of climbing Mexico's highest mountain, Pico De Orizaba. We had one week's worth of food and climbing gear in our packs, and one weeks worth of money in our pockets. When we got to Orizaba, a small town at the base of the mountain, we discovered our packs and gear were not on the bus. We spent three days in Orizaba waiting for our packs. The clerk in the bus station in Orizaba got tired of seeing us, and gave us free bus tickets back to Vera Cruz. We got there on a Friday night only to discover all of the hotels we could afford were full. a friendly cab driver took us to every house of ill repute in Vera Cruz, thinking that was what we were after. We ended up sleeping in this park for three days and nights, until a room opened up next to the bus station. This woman leading her child through the park caught my eye. This is an unfinished work.

Collected Works

The Milky Way, Acrylic on Panel, 38" X 48" First Version. This painting was inspired by an adventure I took when I was 16 years old. I ran away from home in Kansas City and went to the Lake of the Ozarks. I found a small cave in a bluff adjoining the lake and made it my home. I got a job at a local sawmill. I would ride the school bus to work. The local elementary school was just down the road from the sawmill. Getting off at the elementary school made me look kind of "slow"but it was a ride to work. The mill workers would drop me off at a house near my cave.I remember my first night sleeping under the stars, and marveling at their beauty, it was difficult seeing stars in the lights of the city. This painting belongs to Mrs Angel Mallen, and is above her mantle piece.

The Final Version of Milky Way.

Memory of the House With the Rock Wall, Oil on Panel, 18' X 24" Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Schiller When you are an artist, especially one who grew up poor, you work a variety of jobs to support yourself and your art. This memory comes from a truck driving job I had that would take me to Topeka Kansas and Manhattan Kansas. I would se this house on the north side of Interstate-70 and say to myself I have to paint this.
