My Dad's tractor,  oh the memories it brings! My Dad loved his John Deere and spent many days riding on the farm. I think he was probably happiest when he had the whole world blocked out and just enjoying the view from the tractor seat. I have some great photos over the years and thought I would try to capture the beauty in a painting. This is how I choose to remember it. After 60+ years of service it stopped working last year :(   Ironically, my dad passed away only a few months before the tractor died.  I guess they were destined to be together!    I miss them both <3.
