Pat’s Pan Shovel
Sold
2026, graphite on paper, 15 x 11
Every motorcycle and motorcycle rider has a story. As pictured, in a celebration of the love for his Harley, one man’s camera caught his and his friend’s reflection in the chrome air filter cover, capturing a happy moment in the life of both the rider and the Harley Pan Shovel. Harley Davidson Panheads were manufactured from 1948 to 1965. Shovelheads from 1966 to 1984. However, the Panhead crankcase (bottom end) was used through 1969, making the first few years of Shovelhead engines (1966 through 1969) a hybrid: the Pan Shovel. This drawing, as a piece of fine art, depicts reflective chrome engine parts juxtapositioned against the silhouette of the black cylinders and heads of a Harley Davidson Pan Shovel.

A Little Bit of Luckenbach
$900
2026, graphite and color pencils on paper, 16 x 12
In honor of the Cherokee Chapter of the AMCA and the Fandango Motorcycle Rally in Fredericksburg, Texas, a little bit of Luckenbach.
In this drawing a 45 cubic inch WL Flathead (side valve) civilian Harley Davidson visits Luckenbach Texas. The WL was produced by Harley Davidson from 1937 through 1952. The World War II model, the WLA, produced from 1941 to 1945, is basically the same engine and frame as the civilian pre and post war model in military trim. At 739cc’s and a compression ratio of 5:1, the WL made 23 horse power and a top speed of 65 to 70 mph. While we don’t know the original history of this particular WL, or its year of manufacture, it was found in a barn in Arkansas, and reportedly had a now rebuilt WLA engine, installed at some point.

Roman Heros
$800
2026, graphite and color pencils on paper, 20 x 13
While the Arch of Constantine and the Roman Colosseum are the inspirations for this pencil drawing, and while this image is not an exact representation of either of these iconic Roman Empire icons, the imagery is close enough to visualize the monumental majesty of these monoliths. The Piazza del Colosseo is situated between the Esquiline Hill and the Palatine Hill, two of the Seven Hills of Rome, an area that has been at the crossroads of Roman culture and history for over two thousand years. The Colosseum, built by emperor Vespasian and his son Titus, was completed about AD 80. The Arch of Constantine, built to celebrate Constantine’s victory over rival Maxentius, was dedicated in AD 315. The quotation on the Arch, a modern take on heroism, asks, “Who was a hero two thousand years ago, who was the victim, who was lost, and who cares now?”

On Spring Lake
Sold
2025, graphite and color pencils on paper, 10 x 17
Since 1994 Aquarena Springs in San Marcos, Texas, has been owned and conserved by Texas State University. Now known as Spring Lake, the artesian springs were dammed by settlers in the 1840’s. Aquarena Springs is a beloved natural area that has hosted a variety of activities including habitation, recreation and education throughout a history of over 12,000 years. Going forward to the 1900’s the property was owned by A. B. Rogers who built a hotel on the banks of the lake in the 1920’s. From 1950 to the mid-1990’s the Rogers family operated Aquarena Springs as a theme park highlighting the Aquamaids performing and cavorting in an underwater theater. Other attractions were Ralph the swimming pig, an alligator farm, Sky Ride Gondolas, and a rotating 220 ft. tall observation tower. Back in 1946 the Glass Bottom Boats were brought in for guests to view the turtles, fish and wild rice waving in the artesian springs that feed the lake at the headwaters of the San Marcos River. Five of the original boats have been renovated and still make daily tours of the lake and springs. The mounting that holds this drawing is one of the original pre-renovation glass bottom boat window frames.

The San Marcos Majic River Map
Sold
2025, graphite and color pencils on Bristol Board, 17 x 28
The Majic River Map, commissioned by one of the Deputy Marshals, has been created to honor the new City Marshal. Designed in a loose interpretation of the Harry Potter Marauder’s Map, the phrase, “Mischief Managed,” has special significance for the City Marshal and Deputies in the execution of their duties. The San Marcos Majic River Map depicts the San Marcos River as it winds its way through the San Marcos City Parks and Green Spaces, and centers on Rio Vista Park, the jewel of the river parks. In the Harry Potter stories, students are assigned, according to their abilities and attributes, to one of four houses in the School of Magic that they attend. Ravenclaw is City Marshal T. Williams’ house. The Ravenclaw motto is “Wit Beyond Measure is Man’s Greatest Treasure”, which goes hand in hand with the Marshal’s motto, “Professionalism, Honesty, Integrity and Compassion.”

Double Helix Spiral Stairs
$400
2025, graphite on paper, 11 x 14
The up & down stairs in the Vatican Museum in Rome is where the Spiral Staircase winds its double helix to guide tourists toward the Sistine Chapel at the end of their museum visit. The original staircase by Donato Bramante was built in 1505. It was large enough for pack animals and the Papal Carriage to ascend and descend. The modern staircase, installed in 1932 for pedestrians only, was designed by Giuseppe Momo. Still called the Bramante staircase, the double helix design allows uninterrupted up and down traffic on the two intertwined stairways.

The Cat and the Delicate Instrument
$300
2024, graphite and color pencils on paper, 10 x 14
Like all curious felines my cats want to know more. In this still life drawing there are many items that are hopefully not radioactive, but Neko the cat wanted to make sure it was all safe. Sandia Corporation has been researching and manufacturing nuclear weapons and other radioactive defense, offense and security technologies since 1949. While we wish for peace and tranquility, Neko keeps his own council to explore his educational opportunities.

Neque Illic Mortuus
SOLD
2024, graphite on paper, 11 ¾ x 11 ¾
I drew this image as a caricature of a real tomb memorial after pondering the messages inscribed in Latin: “Neque hic vivus, Neque Illic Mortuus.” It appears as an inscription on the tomb of Giovanni Battista Gisleni, in the Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo in Rome, Italy. The architect designed his own macabre funeral monument in 1672, including the two inscriptions on the marble facing, which are said to explain the logic of the memorial: “Neither living here, nor dead there.” The inscriptions on the medallions translate; “I will die in my nest,” and “I will multiply my days like a Phoenix.” There is a bit of artistic license taken and expressed in this drawing, but the message remains the same.

Valerie’s View
$175
2024, color pencils and graphite on paper, 7.5 x 10
Somewhere in the sky above is where innocence and discovery meet, where adventurous birds fly, where bold scientists dare to test the air, and where young folk dream of flying. When the clouds are luminescent and the sun shines on both stormy and calm atmosphere, dreamers dream of gliding on gossamer wings in the cool, rarefied firmament. Peaceful, but with a tinge of storm, the clouds bring life giving rain to the Earth and artful accents to a bright sunny day. May we find peace and harmony in our flights of fancy, and in our daily lives.

Moto BMW
SOLD
2023, graphite and color pencils on paper, 15 x 20
Touted as the “Best Airhead BMW ever made,” the R100 GS (Gelande/StraBe) was the Off Road-On Road tour champion. The large fuel tank and long travel suspension offered distance, comfort and good handling for the serious motorcycle tour rider. While it is not a true motocross or touring bike, it is a nice balance between the two. While it wasn’t the fastest moto in the pack, its street / trail abilities made it one of the most versatile all around rides with ample luggage capacity for long distance touring. The Paris-Dakar (PD) model was based on the R80 GS that made motorcycle history with multiple wins of the Paris –Dakar endurance race. The PD model was made from 1988 to 1996.

The Shopping List
$350
2023, graphite and color pencils on paper, 10 x 13
The Shopping List is an allegory of who gets to be predator and prey. While this drawing is a still life composition, the reality of life through the ages is that all living creatures alternately eat and are eaten. The collection of elephant tchotchkes on the top shelf of my bookcase started at a church “White Elephant Sale” ca 1957 where my mother purchased a carved wood elephant for a dollar that began her life-long fascination with pachyderms. Being the current curator of this collection, which includes other animal replicas (like the bronze Allosaurus), I find mixing and matching various non-sequitur creatures stimulates my imagination. And who gets to be the top predator of all time? We might think we know, but that is still to be determined.

Cats Collection
SOLD
2023, graphite & color pencils on paper, 12 x 15
For all you Ailurophiles. Many local artists make diorama art from found objects of little scenes of not so domestic life. Here it's a still life of some of the tchotchkes of cats and various, mostly fictional, publications I've collected. Every drawing has a story to it, in this case it's our visit to the big museums in London where Egyptian Gods Bastet and Sekhmet were honored, and images of the Cat Gods were sold as Tourist mementos. We've collected many tokens and reminders of the cats we have shared life with.

2nd place ribbon in NBAL's "Anything Goes" juried art exhibit,
awarded February 3, 2023
Once, in my wild and free wheeling youth, our Harley Motorcycle riding group chanced upon an antique store in a little Central Texas town. While there were all manner of interesting items for sale in the store, the front windows held my attention. The play of the reflections of our motorcycles juxta positioned against the wares in the window display, highlighted by various advertisements taped to the glass, created a colorful mosaic that was hard to forget. The scene was intensified by my pensive friend’s back lit silhouette that cut the glare allowing a few of the items behind the glass became visible. Because what our eyes see is light reflecting off the world around us, this drawing became a study of multiple refractions overlaying the dark interior of the store.

Space X Texas
Sold
2021, graphite and color pencils on paper, 10.5 x 14

A few years ago Elon Musk moved his Space X rocket assembly and launch site to Boca Chica on the Texas Third coast. In the rush to create and produce Earth orbital, Mars and Moon worthy rockets for space transport there have been a few explosions and mishaps during the experiments with fuel and hardware. Of the rockets that exploded soon after launch, many alloy "skin" pieces and rocket debris has found it's way into the hands of History, scrap and Technology collectors. This drawing is my artist's interpretation of the launch site; rockets, tank farm and support equipment as the ground crew makes ready for an early morning test.

Emergency Motorcycle Tool Kit
Sold
graphite & color pencils on paper, 9.5 x 12, 2021
Every motorcycle rider who has ever experienced a break-down has gathered a basic took kit. Like an insurance policy, when it is needed you have to hope the tools are fitting for fixing what broke. As with any learning experience the items to hand are tried and true tools useful in almost any situation. This array of tools is very basic. My own tool kit that has traveled with me for a couple hundred thousand motorcycle miles is way more complex than this. But every item has been called upon many times in many situations to save the day.
As a restoration and custom Harley tech with Bud Reveile for 20 years at his Austin, Texas, Cesar Chavez St. location, I saw his loving spirit touch many people’s lives. This drawing is to commemorate Bud Reveile and the many folks he helped find a better life and stay in the wind. Every day there was something new to learn, new friends to meet, and new problems to figure out. Sometimes the people we travel with are part of the tool kit that saves the day.

Coffee Pot Bees
Sold
2020, graphite and color pencils on paper, 16 x 12.5
Third place "Anything Goes" 2021, NBAL Gallery exhibit.
Grandpa Bean always kept bees, I think these hives near his home in Central Arizona were clandestine as Grandma didn't know about them. She would have forbidden him to attend to his bees because he had been stung way too many times.
Before retiring from Washington D.C. he often had 15 to 20 hives in his care. Local Maryland farmers often called on Grandfather to request bee pollen service. He also collected rouge swarms, finding the queen, gently placing her and her bees in wooden hives and transporting them to favorable locations.

To Florence With Love
Sold
2020, dry mixed media, 18 x 10
A typical, but imaginary, street scene in the Historic District of Florence, Italy with Santa Maria del Fiori in the background. Most streets in Florence wind toward the Duomo Piazza which offers locals and visitors alike a chance to renew their Christian vows at one of the largest Cathedrals in Italy. From San Miniato al Monte on the hill South of Florence, across the Arno River, and up the hill to Fiesole, the Cathedral and bell tower dominate the skyline.

MONUMENT VALLEY
Sold
2018, mixed dry media on paper, 10 x 13
On the Navajo Indian Reservation in the Four Corners area of North East Arizona, where the air is so much clearer and cleaner, stand The Three Sisters. Yes it is blazing hot in the sun, but the scanty shade of a thirsty desert tree offers a brief respite with the promise of water if you dare to dig. Tourists and visitors to the Navajo Reservation are not allowed to just go where they wish. Most of the Reservation is considered sacred ancestral ground, off limits to outsiders. A Reservation approved guide driving a four wheel drive bus took us to this area during a special tour.
