Hoepfner-Dunn Home

This is a simple pen and ink sketch I did for some good friends. They just finished building their beautiful home in the Granite Ridge section of Medicine Park, Oklahoma

This is the watercolor version done on 140# Arches watercolor paper.

The Medicine Park Motorcycle Shop

The motorcycle shop, aptly named "Chaps My Ass" caters to the hundreds of motorcyclists who annually visit or pass through Medicine Park on their way to or from the adjacent Wichita Wildlife Refuge. In this picture I used a little pastel work to supplement my watercolors. It worked pretty good. I may have to try more of it in future sketches and paintings.

The Brox Aerie

This is a watercolor I did of Steve and Katie Brox's house high in the hills of Medicine Park, OK. A beautiful location. Unfortunately, this does not give the house the justice it deserves. There are so many angles to the house (offering the 360 degree view) that it would take several paintings to show its true beauty. The drive up is steep and winding and their address is appropriately enough " Onehellofadrive, Med Park, OK. "

Dale and Barbara's Ruins

I wanted to sketch the subject ruins which sits on Dale and Barbara's property in Medicine Park. Their remodeled guest home is to the right. This old house is particularly interesting in that it appears to have been added on to at some very early time as seen by the small round cobblestones on top of the larger pieces of granite on the right side. Also the small window to the left has been placed in and partially fills an area which was at one time apparently a larger opening. There is also a window in the back which has been filled in with cobblestones. You really wonder what the original house looked like so many years ago. The only thing standing is the fireplace inside the structure on the right. The lower sketch shows the fireplace in more detail.

Mt. Scott looms in the background directly behind the house.
