In the 1950's, 60's, and 70's Stevens Mill / Warrick's Mill had a picnic shelter and a pavilion with a diving board.  It was open to the public, and was locally popular for 

picnics, parties, fishing, yearbook poses, etc.

THE LITTLE TRACTOR

11 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches, watercolor, 2020

original painting SOLD

The "little tractor" was owned by my grandfather, who lived in the red-roofed house.  My family lived farther up the sandy road beyond the cornfield, but the tractor is headed to my cousins' house.  We all loved the little tractor, and Granddaddy allowed us to use it for getting up corn, and vegetables, or to help him around his farm. The little tractor was as memorable as an old family dog.  My cousin Gordy is driving the tractor, and my sister JoAnn is riding the trailer.  The sandy dirt road is hot in the summer sun, but there is promise of cool refreshment in the load of watermelons.  Gordy's muddy-footed dog Ginger has apparently found a wet, muddy way to cool off.

 

 Granddaddy also had a "big tractor", which was the subject of one of my earlier paintings, posted June 18, 2018 on this blog.
