Inspired By Cristy

This was also done in early September, 2005. I had seen a painting of a tractor by a Wetcanvas member (named Cristy). It was a beautiful painting and when I happened across this old machine during a painting expedition, I couldn't resist giving it a try. It didn't turn out too bad, but truthfully the jpeg makes it look better than it is. I was standing in full sun and the painting looked really good outside, but when I brought it in under artificial light it lost a lot of its punch.

I don't paint vehicles too often, but would like to try this one again. Unfortunately I think the property has since been sold.
