Anthony’s work brings you from the excitement of horse racing at Church Hill Downs to the horse farms of the South. He effortlessly captures the grace, beauty and spirit of these magnificent animals. As he explains, “painting horses gives me the chance to capture on canvas, their power, their spirit, their beauty, and the thunder of the ground as they gallop towards you”.

Fly fish the nostalgia of the 40’s and then jump to the present with his fly rods to fishing hats and, of course, the ultimate catch! His love of this sport is brought to life in his fly fishing series. Begin the adventure bumping down an old country road in “Going Fishing” and later find yourself in the middle of a graceful “Shadow Cast”. The trout will be “Fighting Back” in Anthony’s remarkable watercolor!
His respect for the country’s Indian heritage comes to life in “Returning Home”, “Midnight Run” and not to be missed, at any cost, is “Spirit Warrior”. It is a painting that will have you mesmerized and guaranteed to be stunned with the detail of this gaze.
In true Southern tradition that speaks to the heart, Anthony captures gentle moments, and presents southern culture at it’s’ best, you are guaranteed to have your heart touched. Anthony’s remarkable oil paintings, “Trust” and “Sarah & Cody” reflect the true innocence of childhood and the undisputed trust of the animals they call their friends. Step into “Jenkins Store” for a memory of childhood when a nickel represented a small treasure. Sit on the porch in “Mountain Cabin” and listen to the leaves rustling early in the morning. Then finish your day on that mountain cabin porch with your best and most loyal friends – waiting, listening, and looking for you to come home – “My Pals”.
