Thank you very much! Those are the first public compliments I have ever gotten. I'm still learning. Those are painted in a learning manner. That is, not really polished. It was cold there and the paint wouldn't flow quite right. And somehow the photos came out badly. I guess that is better than some of the others I did there though. The one tractor painting is done on a drop cloth! (Chinese canvas from Home Depot). Needed something quickly--it only has only one layer of gesso (surface prep), dried with a hair dryer and sanded with a power sander. Could have used a second coat of gesso. (And I don't think the teacher is ever going to talk to me again for not finishing the paintings his way. I guess they really need layers and layers of more paint. I just didn't want to paint over some of the pleasing colors--although some were just too daunting--like those Teton mountains! They really need to be lightened and blued. But I was losing the good shapes. If I do more I'll probably get better at it.)

I like them. They look great and show the Tuckers in their natural environment. I could never make anything anyone would recognize with paint.

Thanks very much!!! I may put a snowcat painting on ebay sometime (probably not one of my Tuckers though). Years ago I had good luck selling local landscapes there (landscapes are a piece of cake compared to snowcat and tractor paintings). Maybe I'll do some more work on my supposedly finished Snow Trac painting and put that out.

Does anybody have a good snowcat photo (maybe deep-powder-snow action) that they wouldn't mind me using for a painting? Of the ten snowcat paintings I have done now only one was from an actual scene. The others were ideas from here or there. It is really hard to polish something that you can't really see. I also think about where could a snowcat painting actually hang. (My ex says no wife is going to permit one of these on a home wall.) Maybe if a painting was large it could fit on the wall of a ski area lodge somewhere. So I would like to try a larger painting. Eleven is a lucky number for me--maybe I'll paint something really catchy. Thanks!
