Back 

Trinity Blast – Painted when I worked in Oak Ridge. "	Clown #1 – Painted for the young son of a friend. His sister grew up frightened of clowns
Clown #2.- Painted for the same friend as above" “Saudi Train” The train from Dammam to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It always kicked up a trail of dust. The next four pictures are the illustrations for a children’s book called “Afton” The story was inspired by a trip to England’s Lake District.. Afton, an elf, lives beside Lake Buttermere.	Gamecocks - My son attended South Carolina, home of the “Fighting Gamecocks This chimney was inspired by one located on the River Road in south Louisiana. A gosling is in danger from a pike in the lake.
Afton rescues the gosling and will be rewarded with his dream of a lifetime.	Afton gets his reward flying over Derwentwater and Cats Bell
Half-way House This building is located halfway between Dhahran Saudi Arabia and Abqaiq. It was an old police checkpoint and was the only building in the forty mile stretch of desert. Because it was such a landmark to us, I painted it after it was abandoned.	Saudi Sand Storm
My children’s pets, Suzy (the dog), Dumb Dumb, and Julie.
