Oil on Canvas 24x36

Inspired by the resilience of the Texas Hill Country, Rooted reflects the enduring strength found in both the land and the life it sustains. The longhorn and wild lantana stand together as symbols of beauty shaped by heat, hardship, and time.

Five generations of my family have called this church home. My wife and I were married here, our children baptized here, and my mother rests in the cemetery just below. Church in the Wildwood is a tribute to faith, legacy, and the sacred ground that holds us.

The Mason County Courthouse has long been more than the center of government—it is the gathering place of a community. Around this square I've watched Fourth of July parades, celebrated state championships, joined neighbors in prayer, and witnessed a town come together after fire threatened one of its most treasured landmarks. Through seasons of celebration, hardship, and renewal, this courthouse has stood as a reminder that the strength of a community is found not only in the buildings it preserves, but in the people who gather around them. Some places become sacred because history happened there. Others become sacred because generation after generation continues to show up. This is one of those places.

Hilda United Methodist Church is where generations of my family worshiped long before I stood in its pulpit. Each Easter morning the community gathers on the hill at sunrise, waiting in quiet expectation. As the first light breaks behind the steeple, resurrection felt less like metaphor and more like memory—light returning to ground made sacred by prayer.

Sacred Ground Series

There is a quiet holiness found in the overlooked places of Hill Country landscapes. A shallow creek winds through limestone and grasses, shaped slowly by water, weather, and time. What appears ordinary at first glance reveals a deeper story of patience and transformation—reminding us that grace often works the same way, gently carving beauty and purpose into the places we least expect.

This painting grew out of an early morning walk down to the low-water crossing at Beaver Creek. 

This place holds generations of memory for me: family stories from after World War II, childhood swims, days with my own children, and now time spent here with my grandchildren.

Not every sacred place announces itself. Some reveal their meaning slowly. While painting this limestone bluff along a quiet Hill Country river, the layered rock briefly suggested a human face hidden within the stone before disappearing beneath the final details. It was a reminder that landscapes carry stories deeper than what we see — and that much of what shapes us, like grace itself, often works quietly beneath the surface.

Stones That Remember reflects the quiet weight of history held within the walls of Mission Espíritu Santo in Goliad, Texas. Painted from a memory of a long-awaited day of exploration after a season of stillness, the scene captures both beauty and complexity. These stones bear witness to faith, resilience, and loss—holding stories that continue to echo beneath the surface of the present.

Inspired by a quiet season spent at our cabin along Beaver Creek between pastoral appointments. Duke, our yellow lab, stood calmly in the water each day as if he understood something we were still learning—that not every season of life is about movement or achievement. This painting reflects the grace found in stillness, rest, and the sacredness of ordinary moments.

Our middle daughter met her husband at Southwestern and they married in the chapel in 2025.  I painted this as a wedding present for them.  They have the original, but signed and numbered limited edition prints are now available.

There are many places in the Texas Hill Country back roads where cattle roam free across the roads.  Ranchers own property on both sides of the road and don't have fences to contain them.  They make driving the roads on Spring mornings a bit more beautiful if not dangerous.  Gotta pay attention.

This small church in Castell, Texas was the first congregation I ever served as a pastor. Though I was there only one year, it was where I preached my first Easter and Christmas and learned what ministry truly meant. Trinity United Methodist Church closed in 2019, but the prayers, hymns, and quiet beginnings that took place here remain sacred ground in my story.

As I painted this piece, I mostly listened to John Denver on pandora. There’s something about his music that brings a sense of quiet country mornings and a crisp hope of a new day. This scene looks across Beaver Creek in Mason County as the sun rises. As I painted it, I kept thinking that this painting should go in someone’s home where they drink their coffee in the mornings, because one of Cindy and my favorite things is to drink coffee as the sun rises at our cabin on Beaver Creek. .
