Farm Tractor. 9x12, oils on board.


I painted this Tractor from a photograph that I took after completing the Windmill
at West Kingsdown. As we were on our way out of the field, the Farmer had just hitched
this contraption to the back of the Tractor and was doing something to the back of it, I couldn`t resist the opportunity to paint it.

    I like the story that this painting tells and the movement in the whole picture made by the path and the curves of the bushes. Very nice feeling altogether.

    Hi Valerie.
    Thank you for your nice comment. I`m glad that you like it. Yes, I was rather pleased with the path also. This is the farmer who owns the Windmill as well. It`s the same farm also that I
    got the subject from for the painting "Cows in a Field" Off out plein Air again tomorrow, Yippee!. Thanks again Valerie and all the best.
    Vic.

    Wow Vic, this is absolutely superb! I find it really difficult even just drawing sommething as complicated as this but to paint it, and in oil too, is amazing. Excellent painting my friend!

    Very nice Vic. I don't find tractors easy to paint, with all those bits and pieces on them. You've simplified it well, but still got a convincing impression.

    Hi Michael.
    Thank you very much for your comment my friend.
    I do find them very difficult to draw myself. I would have liked to have put the farmer getting into it, but he was at the back doing something. I`m no good at imagining somebody getting into it.
    All the best Michael.
    Vic.

    Hi Keith.
    Thank you very much for your nice comment. It can be more difficult to make an impression of something than drawing it all eh? All the best Keith.

    Hi Hilda.
    Thank you very much for your lovely comment.
    I must say that I did have a bit of a job with the drawing bit. Thank you again Hilda and all the best.
