I am excited to share my latest drawing fresh off the drawing board, featuring a dear friend, which I have titled "Alone Together." My desire for this piece was to express the connection, and partnership between man & horse. The composition & design of the horse's neck coming down towards the cowboy, keeps a soft harmonious, connection between the two. The cowboys left hand & arm leads your eye back around to the horse. This softly invites the eye in a continuous circular motion, with the focus never leaving the two. I intentionally created a tonal background with the light illuminating the two to create almost a divine quality. To me it feels symbolic that God's Love always surrounds us through the grind of every ordinary day. "Alone Together" expresses there is "Glory in the Grind" with two great partners right beside you - the visible & invisible... a horse sniffing on your shoulder & God in your heart.

Without something to Love...Love has no meaning.

It’s all in the eyes of this young horse! So young, innocent and still a lot to learn - but his willingness and positive attitude captivated me. He inspired me to be a better person.
My little friend and his beloved "Long Eared" mule had to be drawn. No way around it.

My respect for Jack is expressed with real Reverence. Jack is one of the most inspiring animals I've ever known. His gaze, and the look in his eye penetrates my heart deeply. I desire to have that same obvious connection as Jack, does with the unseen Master.
In dedication to a dear friend, and his wife ... Who’s example has greatly impacted my life and inspired me ever since I’ve known him. Who’s love, support and advice has been invaluable in my personal and professional journey.
I have a deep connection with this rural, old, chapel that is no longer used. But a real feeling of sacredness remains in this special place.
