I might be a little man in a big world but on our 30 acres I'm the one in charge when the wife's not around!
Choctaw Charlie
Here’s a little carving I did recently that went south. Not south in a bad way! My Granddaughter ask if I would do a carving for the Father of her fiancé who had seen my webpage and really enjoyed my work. The piece stands about 10 inches tall with the walnut base. She said he…
What Happened?
As most of you probably know, this site disappeared a few months back. Well, due to a number of circumstances beyond our control, we had to take it down. I won’t go into the details but that’s behind us now and I’m in the process of bringing things back on line. Unfortunately, there are a…
Jack Rabbit – Part 3 – A Setback!
Someone once said “A man has to realize his limitations!” Well, I’ve found a new one. Setting down to video the next episode of Jack Rabbit, I found that what was once a fairly easy thing for me to do was no longer possible. My hand holding the brush was just too shaky to paint…

Painting “The Skinner” Part-2
I was hoping that we could wrap this piece up with 2 segments but it was not to be. So, this one is devoted to deciding just what colors we can use to carry the dark and shifty mood of the piece. I think we did that as you will see at the end of…
Painting “The Skinner” – Part 1
It seems ages since Judy and I did a new video series so we thought we’d invite you to tag along as I painted and finished up this frontier scallywag. I just hope we can remember all the various steps to produce a video. At the moment I’m reading the book “Last Stand”, by George…
Charlie Red Horse
Originally published in June, 2010: “Finally got Charlie off the paint table and in front of the camera. I think he turned out great. Really like the robe designs. They are a combination of several I found through research the web and in the books I have on hand. He looks pretty regal to me. …
