Art that elevates a house into a home
"The earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the earth."
"The American West attracts me because it is so romantic."
-Ang Lee
Rust to Dust
Only time brings forth the rich colors found deep within the ageing iron. If you were to wait long enough, the machines we treasure become one with the colors of the earth they came from.
Big Blue
Old abandoned barns are a reminder of what was, and what will be. When you stand in front of the old sentinel, you can feel the hidden strength of the weathered bones which may outlive you.
American Spirit
Patriotism seems to be everywhere these days. Perhaps it is because deep inside you can sense the pride of purpose and creative expression expanding from a simple pair of boots. That's worth some boot-scootin' y'all!
Hot Air
Iconic farm symbols get a little graphic boost to grab your attention. Hard to do with all the hot air these days... Sometimes the simplest things point to a way of life wherein form follows function. Moving air, blades turning a wheel and a pump breathes water.
Homestead
"I compare myself to a good barn. You can have a good barn, and if you paint it it looks a little better. But if you take the paint off it's still a good barn."
-Dolly Parton
Red Rocker
Oh, the stories that were shared on this old farm porch as the sun settled low in the evening sky. This old rocker remembers all of them. Will the memories stand the test of time?
Stand by Me
Old Glory has seen better days, and yet tattered and threadbare, dirt-crusted and crumpled she still stands as proudly as ever. Those who fought for what she stands for know what I mean.
God bless America.
The Sound of Winter
Snow settles upon the land with a stillness so profound you can hear your heart beating.
Mesquite
Cactus has a million ways to make itself useful. When I saw this old post still providing functionality and beauty I was reminded of why I love the American West so much.
Old Folks Home
The character of old trucks and cars shapes how we feel about old machinery and the cultures that surround them. We capture their images and revere the memories associated with other times. Why do we not just throw old vehicles like these away? A part of us longs for the simpler times they represent.
Popsicle Toes
It's gonna be a cold one in the morning at the ranchhouse. An early freeze has coated the boots of the ranchhands into stiff little statues that will fight you to put back on. Life in the outdoors is unpredictable at best.
Red
Functional simplicity is portrayed in this striking graphic that is as timeless as an old tractor. Too heavy to move, these old workhorses waste away in pastures across America. Do they still fulfill a purpose?
Yes, I say. a thousand times yes.
Mountain Meadow
The earth showers us in its abundant beauty. We have but to open our senses to see it. Were we to accept the fullness of nature in all of its many forms, we would cry in delight. Therefore, nature must be sipped rather than gulped.
You've Got Mail
An old abandoned home is still patiently waiting for that post to be picked up. The Morning Glory vines will soon be the only witness of the lives that used to make a home here.
Chez Bleue
Who used to live here? Most likely a woman with very nice taste in lace curtains, but were dreams created and hopes dashed? Old houses have stories to tell and are well worth listening to. One can only wonder as this old Bodie window weathers the years in grace and beauty.
"Creating a visual image that can grace your living space is never easy. My reward is the smile you get when the Country reaches out and grabs you.
