This tractor belongs to a wonderful man called Ray Talley. The Talleys' have farmed the land in this area since the 1600's. Having seen the tractor on many a morning while cycling the occasion presented itself where I was able to approach farmer Talley and ask if I could paint his tractor.......after pondering my request he agreed and most importantly gave me the faith that I could do his tractor justice with my paint brush. Farmer Talley expressed a great desire to place this painting of his tractor by his produce stand. Creating my painting was indeed a site to behold....picture me sitting on a feed bucket beside a large pile of cow dung surrounded by swarming flies trying to sketch "JD" to the sounds of all the barnyard creatures that were in the vicinity. In the process farmer Talley shared aspects of his life and I came away from this experience feeling that my meeting of farmer Talley and being able to paint his truck was indeed a gift from God. Needless to say he was most please with the end result I had done "JD" justice.
