"LOYAL PARTNER"

Here is a new painting just off my easel.  We knew him as "Okie" and what a loyal partner he has been for many years, and was the go-to horse for our Grandaughter Sutton in the last 5 years after his lifetime of hard work here on the ranch. Now gone on to his reward last Fall.  Sure do miss him, probably painted this buckskin more than any of the others.

Beautiful day at Old Camp. Horses sure are enjoying this summer's bounty !

Sport and Okie.

What a difference a year can make.  This was my photo from last Spring, we keep watching those clouds, praying the good Lord will bless us with something soon..

A beautiful Memorial Day morning, what a fitting tribute to our real American Heroes, sent to you from Old Camp Ranch and the Smith Family. There can never be enough praise and thanks to those who have given their all, so that we can live free, let's don't forget they are our true American Heroes. God bless each and every family who have lost loved ones.
