The last painting of 2023
I went out of town, just an hour from Memphis, hoping to escape some of the noisy New Year’s Eve fireworks. I’m in a small town called Harrisburg, Arkansas, where there is a little community of cabins that were restored on a farm property. I came across this old International farm truck down a dirt road. The painting is 8x10 inches, oil on gesso panel.
The dog-trot style cabin where I’m staying. Margaret joined me yesterday. This is a fun place to visit if you want to see some historical buildings and farm implements. It’s called Parker Homestead.
I tried to paint today in the 42° temperatures, but it was icy cold and windy, so I only made a start on painting this covered bridge that they built right here on the property. They said they traveled up to Pennsylvania to measure some historic bridges and made a simile.
Happy New Year All!
