Booth at Heart of Katy 2006

I am a native Texan and went to Southern Methodist University, graduating in 1972 with BA in Art. I have been married to Nancy Faye for 35 years and we have two married children; Cameron & his wife, Yana and Cristen and her husband, Jake. A 2-year old pup "CiCi" and an older river dog, “Frio” named after the Frio River west of San Antonio.

We are members of Mission Bend United Methodist Church and I take great pleasure in using the creative gifts my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ has blessed me with. I hope to share my gift with you, soon.
Artist

I have been an artist and graphic designer for 40+ years. I have done hundreds of watercolors and other art mediums, and just a few are shown here. If you would like to see a certain subject, please email me and I will forward PDF's to you if I have it.

I have done hundreds of watercolors and pastels.

If there is a particular image or combinations you are interested in, please email me your wants.

It would be my pleasure to send you a PDF file of a watercolor I have done of what you are looking for or at least something similar. I will be adding to my sample page periodically, so please check back often.

Your referrals of my site are very much appreciated, and I thank you in advance for sharing my art with your family, friends, and co-workers. Please feel free to contact me at any time to discuss your ideas for a watercolor or other piece of art.

This is where it started

This was my Grand Prize winner in the Easter art contest when I was in sixth grade. This along with some other art I was doing prompted my teacher to recommend to my mother, that I should start taking art lessons. So, that summer I start lessons at the Museam of Fine Art near downtown Houston, and then on to private lessons with Mrs. Ethyl Crittenden of River Oaks. Check back... I will add other examples of my early work. You may find it interesting.
