Back in 2018, I created a painting of the 15th hole at Teton Springs, which was reproduced as the bag-tag for our member-guest tournament. That weekend, the now Bronze Buffalo Sporting Club at Teton Springs, hosted an art exhibit showcasing my portraits.
During the reception, I struck up a conversation with a gentleman named Stan Pajerski. He was interested in a portrait, so I snapped some photos… and, well? The rest is history…
Will ‘The Masters’ body of work become the next ‘Guggenheim Series‘? It’s the perfect marriage of art, performance (live streams) and my love of the game (six triples in my 2021 debut for a sterling 98).
Time will tell… for now? Let’s dig into the process of behind bad boy.
Golden Bell, aka hole #12, may be Augusta National’s shortest par three, but it has teeth. With three challenging green-side bunkers and Rae’s Creek, this 155 yard beauty has brought the world’s finest golfers to their knees.
When it was announced that The Masters would take place in November for the first time — I decided it was time to capture this legendary slice of Augusta. This is the result… let’s see how we got here.
Please allow me to introduce my latest portrait — Stan Pajerski. I met Stan and his lovely wife Janice at Teton Springs last summer. A quick conversation lead to a fast friendship, and after a close inspection of my Indiana Jones piece — the idea of creating Stan’s portrait came to life.

Saddle-up partner… here is my latest neon painting… The Million Dollar Cowboy Bar. This baby began at Four Seasons Jackson Hole, and was completed at Borbay studios. Read more
I recently discovered the following, “Any artists living in Idaho for a period of sixteen or more months, is required by law, to create a barn painting. Said Barn must represent at least 40% of the picture plane to be considered a Idaho state approved barn painting.”
And so… I present my painting of Rammell Barn — a landmark located in Teton Springs, of Teton Valley, in Victor, Idaho.

I’ve wanted to paint this for well over a decade, but I needed time to discover the right approach. Over the past year, I began wondering — what would the Hollywood Sign look like as a giant neon? There was precedent — at the turn of the millennium, the sign was ablaze in color — minus the tubes. So, with this as a general guide… I began to reinvent… on a large scale.

I decided to invent a neon painting. The concept: a cowboy on a bucking horse, swangin’ his Indiana Jones style whip, atop electric grass, with the mighty Tetons far off in the distance… my result? “The Neon Cowboy” — not to be confused with “The Electric Horseman“.
