Last month I took a week-long painting workshop with artist Diane Tesler in which we all painted whatever we wanted but with the intention of creating (or beginning) a body of work. For that week, I decided to work on additional tractor paintings, with the thought of creating a Life on the Farm series (from scenes back home in Missouri, mostly). The workshop was held in an empty historic building in Old Town Alexandria that the Art League of Alexandria rented for the week. The space itself was amazing, and being back in Old Town for the week was awesome. Working with Diane Tesler was really cool - she had great advice and stories, and is a really interesting and talented artist. Here are two of my tractor paintings from that workshop.
Old Blue, oil on canvas, 20"x24"
Big Boy, oil on canvas, 24"x30"
