Painting completed in: 1997

Last year (1997) we bought this 1957 John Deere Tractor from a friend, partly because we needed something to mow with and mostly because of it's being an antique and my liking it's looks. The little barn behind it has appeared in several of my paintings and for some reason it just seems to be a good painting subject. We had several inches of snow this last January and this painting was one of the results!
