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.)
