A more graphic approach was used in this rendition of the Kentucky Dam.
Another stylistic interpretation of Kentucky Lake.
This double spread painting was done for Ford Truck Times. I did work for Lincoln Mercury Times as well. These paintings were all done between advertising assignments.
A painting of a rodeo in Carson City, Nevada.
This is a photograph that I took from a lookout tower in the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia. The art director of Ford Times, Arthur Lougee, wanted me to do a painting using the photo as a guide. I tried and tried, but just couldn't make it work, so he decided to use the photo for the cover.
A cover painting for Ford Times, it's a view of Jackson, Wyoming.

Super stuff Harry. Strong composition and lovely colours.A question please if you have the time;Did you have any specific approach to composition and design? So much of your work seems to rest on a strong visual structure. Thanks.
Hi Bandito,
Thanks for your comments and for checking out my blog. I have always been very interested in design in general and also worked for many years as a graphic designer. This interest, no doubt, carries through in my paintings where I consciously or unconsciously strive for strong design in my compositions. All of my abstract paintings and much of my digital work are really pure design and color. Even in my sculpture I strive for strong design.
