I enjoyed the orange tractor painting so much I decided to do another one. Same era...different story. A young farmer proudly preparing his new machine.

Two farmers stumped by a busted old tractor. Sometimes telling a story or imagining a scenario kind of helps you "settle in" to a painting. Its fun to imagine what they might be saying or what they should be wearing or what their body language might be revealing. I enjoyed doing this painting for other simple reasons too...I like the colors and old tractors are cool.

Summer days like this make Michigan bearable. A look down the South pier out onto Lake Michigan. The sister painting to this (the North Pier) is on deck.

A bright red barn under a winter sky. There are still a lot of barns scattered around Michigan...unfortunately there is also a lot of snow.
