Work in progress oil painting – the John Deere Model D tractor ornament

Aside from painting a nutcracker over Christmas, I also painted a delightful tractor ornament as a Christmas gift. The Model D was introduced in 1923 as John Deere’s first mass-produced tractor. By 1935, steel wheels were being replaced by rubber tires on most models. It had the longest model run for the company, running until 1953.

This is a glimpse of it as a work in progress, stay tuned for the final painting..
