Brad Burns creates original pieces depicting construction, jobsites, equipment, and workers. These award-winning original paintings often juxtapose powerful heavy equipment with the fragility of man.

These folks just love what they do and it makes it so worthwhile when I hang a piece and see their delight," he says
