Mt Carmel Morning 246

This is the finished piece I completed yesterday. I did several studies in different palettes and I am very pleased with the outcome. I missed some of the subtlety in the values as things move away, but I hope to correct that. It was difficult to be subtle with a palette knife and so many values.

High and Low, 211

Did this piece for the Centre for Performing Arts auction this weekend. This piece and Tractor VI will be available for sale. 50% of the proceeds will go to benefit the Centre.

Jeff's Train 184

I could not post this piece before Christmas in order to keep the cat in the bag. My buddy Jeff took this a picture of the Blue Ridge Train that he and his wife and son took a day trip on around Halloween when the leaves were turning. I saw the picture on Facebook and was going to paint it anyway. His wife thought it would make a great Christmas surprise for their mountain house... their Boyd collection groweth. Thanks, guys!

Red Tractor III, IH Farmall 174

Latest of the tractor series... This beauty was sitting by the side of the road near Clarksville, TN. It was newly refurbished and beautiful. Although I prefer an old rusty tractor to a new one, an old refurbished one is pretty nice as well.
