Plein Air Oil Sketch: Heavy Construction Machine (oil 9 x 12)

I meant to paint my friend Woody's tractor and boat buggy at his boatyard this morning. They were in the shade from the trees when I saw them yesterday. I tried to express the nuances of light in the dark shade. However, when I arrived there this morning, they were gone. Of course, I didn't tell Woody that i was going to paint them. Therefore, I drove around in Alva along Highway 78, trying to find an acceptable spot to paint. I ended up finding a place on Tuckhoe Road where there were quite a few heavy construction machines. I stopped there and made this sketch.
