Simply wonderful. I like the way the snow accentuates the details on the tractor, and the title is perfect. Congratulations on your feature in the Beautiful Watercolors group. like/f
Christopher Reid replied:
Thank you Anne :) I had fun creating form using the snow, but without giving the snow much form itself because of the lack of a strong directional light source.

Great pastel (I also use them), such an original composition too, love it. I want to share this on Facebook. I could copy and paste, but how do I share it so folk only have to click on it to go to FAA? Email me please. Regards, Susan Lishman
Christopher Reid replied:
Hey Susan :) Sorry I just got this now. I don't know how I never got the message. Thank you for liking my painting. I will email you.

Great winter tractor scene and I love the title. We have a farmer friend with an old FarmAll and he swears by it - but it's never "unemployed". In the winter it serves as his snowplow and when the crops don't need it in the other seasons, he uses it for mowing. I love the realism in your paintings.
Christopher Reid replied:
I love hearing the stories and memories that works of art can trigger in different people. One guy said his tractor had a bent exhaust pipe too because he had run into his mom's clothesline. :)
Rebecca Davis
Another amazing pastel, I love how realistic your pastel paintings are.
Christopher Reid replied:
Thank you Rebecca. Pastel is my favorite medium. It can be as realistic or as expressive as you want. :)
