Inspiration

This is the time of year when I start to look for inspiration for upcoming paintings and projects.  I sometimes get stuck in a rut and have to get my brain going on something inspiring to get the good thoughts flowing.  I seldom if ever find a lack of inspiration with old tractors and trucks.  Here is a nice example of an inspired, orange, hand cranked, iron tired, beast of burden, that worked hard, and has been restored to majestic brilliance.  A very good example of an Alice Chalmers

I may not end up painting a tractor, but the image will get my brain happy so I can move on to the next painting happy, hopeful, and ready to use some cad orange.

That was just darn poetic! Love the tractor, and I'm glad you're getting geared up to use some cad orange whether it's on a tractor painting or not. :)

Tractors are poetic.
