This piece is bright and colorful. Medium is colored pencil and pastels.

Inspired by pastures of grazing cows and cute little miniuture cows. Both combined to create this unique piece of art.

Inspired by the burros in Death Valley that sneak around in the night. They peer and make no sound. 

Inspired by watching old westerns. The image of 2 horses in front of an old barn with a rustic feel.

I found this old truck in a canyon wash in Panamint Valley near Death Valley. There was an eerie vibe that emitted and had to capture the shot. A few years later I decided that I needed to recreate the scene with a little color pop. 

Anyone that has watched Gunsmoke knows the infamous intro of Matt Dillon on Boot Hill. 

One of Festus's more somber moments with Ruth. Festus was shot nn this scene and traded Ruth and his revolver for a run down horse.

The nearby Calmet Mine was mined for its Tungsten in 1915. In the 1940's Talc was mined here but it was short lived. What was left is this old International dump truck. 

This piece was created from White Charcoal on Black paper. Inspired from a photo I took of the old Dodge located in the old Mining Town. Many stories are told of the truck on who the owner was. Lots of rumors around Charles Manson but the real owner is unknown and how it ended up there is another story.  I am sure there is some history there but all is unknown. 

This charcoal art piece was inspired by the series Hell on Wheels. Dramatic campfire scene with the preacher holding a saber tooth tiger skull.

Based of a photo from one of our trips to the Cerro Gordo Mining town in the Inyo Mountains of California. Mine was active from 1866 until 1957.

Art inspired from a photo that I took in Death Valley near the Geologists Stone cabin in Death Valley.

Part of the Death Valley abandoned mining truck series. I took this photo while on a motorcycle ride to the top of South Park Canyon in Death Valley. 

Yes, it was an actual Toll Road before Death Valley became a National Park. 1925-1926 this was the beginning of H. W. Eichbaum's idea of bringing tourism to Death Valley.

Inspired from photo taken of abandoned Powerwagon near Barker Ranch in Death Valley.

LaVoy Finicum (1961–2016) was an Arizona rancher who joined the 2016 armed occupation of Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. On January 26, 2016, while fleeing police, he was shot and killed after reaching toward a loaded gun; supporters call him a martyr, critics an armed occupier.
