Flat Top Mountain


These mountains are to the South of my house. I can imagine smoke signals coming from the round top of Signal Mountain. Many different Indian Tribes & other Travelers came through our area. Buffalo & other game were found here where the grass & water were plentiful. This is W TX but we did have lots of water & running Springs at one time. Moss Springs was a popular place to picnic , swim or just to cool off. A beautiful cavelike overhang was by the Spring. Too bad that progress caused the overhang to cave in. Not sure if it still flows but at one time it was flowing at another spot. Moss Springs is near Signal Mountain. This painting is done in watercolor on Yupo paper.

American Icon


Buffalo were a part of our country that was so important to the people that traveled & lived in North American. Especially for the Indians who depended on buffalo for food, shelter & clothing. The buffalo hunters soon brought this important icon almost to extinction . Now buffalo can only be seen in small herds on private land or in our Yellowstone Nation Park.
