TWO BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS


The first painting is a scene from rural Duncan, Oklahoma. I was at a truck auction there when the sun started to set. I knew that the shapes of the surrounding trucks and structures would make a great silhouette picture.
The second painting is not in Giza, Egypt but rather at the LUXOR in Las Vegas, Nevada. I'm sure it's not the same thing and I hope to one day experience the Giza version.

'GIANTS AND PELICANS"


Please take time to read.
In the first painting you won't see any pelicans but they are there. This is a scene from Pelican Point in Southern Alabama. In fact it is believed to be the farthest point south you can go and still be in Alabama. It is somewhere near Fairhope and Daphne, Alabama.
In the 2nd painting you can seed two giants (mountains) lying on top of the ground, just waiting to rise up and take over the world once again. These are just two of the hundreds of this type formations you can find all over southwest Oklahoma. These are near Mangum, Oklahoma. The small one to the right is two-three miles beyound the front one.

"SUNRISE AND SUNSET"


The top painting was observed very early one morning when I got up early and looked out the window while working at the Quartz Mountain Fall Art's Institute about two years ago. You couldn't tell where the sky and the water separated except for the small strip of land on the other side of the lake.
that is Lake Lugert in Altus, Oklahoma. It looked like a really shinny mirror.
The bottom painting is a scene from standing at the end of my driveway and looking down the street about 5 p.m. one day just before one of our very bad tornadoes. I had never seen the clouds so dark and swirling around the great yellow sunset sky. Also notice the bright orange on the horizon. It was very scary yet SO beautiful.
These are very small 4X6 inch paintings.
