The Oracle—Horned Owl, Oil, 20” x 16” $3,600

Many cultures have endowed the horned owl with wisdom, perhaps due to their serious and compelling stare. With their silent flight they are formidable hunters.

Native Son, Oil, 18” x 18” $3,800

I am endlessly fascinated by the varied markings of the American paint horse, as the horse in Native Son. Their beauty and spirit is inspirational, as well as how they have adapted to being true natives in their environment.

Riverbank Antics—River Otters, Oil, 16” x 20” $3,600 It is great fun to watch the Riverbank Antics of river otters as they run and play in all kinds of weather.
