The Old Tractor

A short drive to the east from my home, past the town of Christmas, Florida I can find a small pasture with cattle grazing and small sheds built for shelter on the farm. I was taken by the fog one morning as it created a light value against the warm color of the farmers tractor. Bales of hay laid off to the side waiting for the cattle to enjoy the food of the day. One lone palm tree stood like a sentinel guarding the hay bales until it was time for the livestock to be feed. I grew up on a farm and I always look for interesting areas to paint while driving through the country.
