I named this painting "Haunted"...10 x 20 inches.I'm sometimes certain that the mountain forest is haunted. This piece might reflect that with it's filtered light and dark shadows. There's an "under-painting" of an oil wash which delineates the dominant shapes. The rest of the piece is done with palette knives. This process allows me to fully express the uniqueness of the ancient Ponderosa Pines.

I was driving on a dirt road towards Water Canyon, New Mexico and spotted two cows walking along near the road. I stopped the car, rolled the window down, and feeling kind of flippant, said "Hi Mr. Cow!". This cow turned to look at me and his expression instantly reminded me of the old movie "Taxi Driver" when Robert DiNero delivered his now famous line..."You talkin' to me?" so I snapped a photo, and from that , created this painting.

What inspired me to paint this was the thick gathering of moss on this natural monolith. The greens and red-browns of the terrain present a harmony that is unique to the Western United States.
