Gift in memory of Virginia Hartle Jackson 2008.0028 Logan gives an interesting account of his working method in commenting on this print: Sources
What thoughts such a scene conjures up... the excitement of threshing days on the farm. This scene was adapted from a photograph taken by my friend J. Wes Manigal... and with his kind permission. It was adapted to fit a scene on my Uncle's farm. One can almost hear the throbbing of the old steam traction engine and smell the smoke.
