You will find
award-winning oil and pastel paintings about country life, rural
landscapes, prairies, all things agriculture, farm animals, livestock
farming of horses, cattle, sheep, goats, donkeys and shearing
wool. Bronzes of equine and cattle subjects are included such as
the circuit-riding preacher and fighting bulls. Plein air
landscape paintings of the Big Bend Nat'l Park and Texas Hill Country
with windmills, cactus flowers and prickly pear are my favorites.
The Holy Land of Israel, Egypt, and
Jordan provide Biblical themes of Palestine, Jerusalem, Jordan Valley,
Sea of Galilee, Jericho, Abraham's Tomb (Machpela), Via Dolorosa and St.
Peters. The Bedouins with their camels, burros and
goats/sheep are captured in beautiful color. The LANDSCAPE
Art of the Middle East entertains a certain mystic that is most unusual!
These many subjects in different mediums
provide excellent gifts and wonderful heirlooms for years to come. |
