Parbuckling Sugar Pine

I’ve finished my submission for the Sierra Cascade Logging Conference’s fundraising auction to raise money for the Environmental Resource Education Fund. It’s watercolor 18”x 14.5”. Vintage logging scenes are a favorite theme for me. I’ll be competing against my adorable wife Mary in a head to head competition to see who raises the most money. The winner gets bragging rights. I’ll post the paintings side by side in the next few days and you can judge which is your favorite.

I put together a progression video. I hope you enjoy.

Parbuckling was a method of loading logs where a chain or cable was hooked to the log cart and wrapped around the log being loaded. The cable was pulled causing the log to roll up a set of poles. Steam in the form of a steam traction engine or steam donkey, or teams of oxen or horse provided the motive force.

I tried twice but I couldn’t get this to load properly. It kept stopping. Sorry. I wanted to see it.

I had some extra files associated with the video so I deleted them. It seems to be playing properly now. It takes a bit to load. Let me know if it plays properly for you. Thanks.

The video continued to buffer after each phase of the painting, but it was well worth the wait, Tim. I’ve always told you that your talent is incredible.
And now… we await Mary’s contribution…

The video worked just fine for me. I love all the detail in your art. Good luck at the auction. I think you need to combine the money raised for a family win.

Thank you! It’s funny that you talk about combining, because even though it’s a “competition” we always think about how much is raised in total. The competition bit makes it more fun for the bidders.
