| Fulani Herdsman |
"Fulani Herdsman"
Dan, a nephew, who lives in Africa, works with the local people installing water and irrigation systems for the country of Nigeria. Fulani Herdsmen are nomadic or semi-nomadic Fulani people whose primary occupation is raising livestock. This man and an associate came through the irrigation project herding animals looking to find grazing ground. There is a conflict between Fulani herdsmen and farmers in Nigeria's middle farm belt. This man and his associate were peaceful.

| Corbett Hill Road |
"Corbett Hill Road"
One of my favorite scenes from my corner of the Pacific Northwest. I live and paint in Corbett, Oregon. As you descend the steep and winding, Corbett Hill Road from the Old Historic Scenic Highway, you come to this spot. It is stunning. I always have to pause and take in the view. It is your first glimpse of the Columbia river and the sun keeps part of it in shadow most of the day. It changes dramatically with the seasons and at different times of the day. I've painted it in every season of the year.
