Surround Yourself with Art That Moves You...That Captures What Words Cannot
Saddles, Spurs, and Silent Plains
Western cowboy moments that refuse to be tamed.
I create for collectors who don’t just want art—they want a daily reminder of something real. Something that stirs them.
Where the Earth breathes light
The peace you forgot you were missing
This isn’t just about art—it’s about bringing something into your space that makes you pause. That catches your breath.
That shifts your perspective when you need it most. Because the right piece helps you see what really matters.

“I debated it for a week, and when I finally bought it, I felt like I’d claimed something. It wasn’t just a piece of art. It was part of my story.”

my why
“People ask why I go to such extremes...oceans, deserts, mountains... my studio. It’s because I believe collectors deserve art that carries real creativity, real miles, real history, and real soul. When you see it, you should feel the distance I traveled to bring it to you.”
MEET THE ARTIST
D Lawrence Barksdale
After decades behind the camera, I don’t just take pictures—I hunt moments like a caffeinated bloodhound. I know what stops people mid-step, mid-sentence, mid-life crisis. The result? Art that doesn’t just hang politely—it grabs eyeballs, tugs heartstrings, and occasionally refuses to be ignored.
“I’m hooked when a photographer makes me feel something before I even know why. If their work lingers, nags, and keeps showing up in my thoughts, I’m in. Add consistency, a distinct voice, and the sense they’re not a one-hit wonder, and suddenly I’m not buying a nice print. I'm investing in a substantial return.” - Robert S., fine art collector
D Lawrence Barksdale’s work appears in private collections and contemporary galleries across North America. Rooted in deep technical competence, keen observation and a quiet stillness, his creative process spans the gamut from landscapes to still life to nature to abstract to archicture—each piece revealing a quiet complexity that invites introspection and rewards presence.
"If you’re anything like me, you feel the quiet moments—light on a wall, a shadow that lingers. I create for those who notice what others miss."
COLLECTOR REVIEWS
“The moment I hung Yosemite spring, the entire room transformed.”
"It’s more than art—it’s an energy. Every guest who enters my home is immediately drawn to it, and I can feel the strength and movement it brings into the space. It’s become the centerpiece that everything else revolves around.”
— Steve M. Andres, Collector,
Seattle
“Every day, I’m captivated by the calming energy that this artwork brings into my home.”
“I purchased Wheel of Time from the gallery, and it instantly became the soul of my living room. Guests are drawn to it, but for me, it’s a quiet sanctuary in the middle of a busy day.”
— Tom Condick, Interior designer, Atlanta
“Owning Caddo dreams feels like owning a part of myself.”
"The photograph carries a sense of quiet power that resonates with me deeply. Friends always ask where I found it, but for me, it’s not just about how it looks—it’s about what it says. It reflects my story, my values, my love of the untamed.”
— Daniel M., Collector,
Dallas/fort worth
“The bells speaks to me every time I walk by.”
"Some art you look at once and move on. This one lingers. The way D Lawrence Barksdale captures motion and stillness together is unlike anything I’ve seen. It feels alive, and it makes me feel more alive too.”
