A Good Day Picking Cotton

I tend to get excited about a subject, then want to paint several pieces.  I'm fascinated by farming this week! I especially like to record times long gone.  These ladies are dragging their cotton sacks behind them as they pick.  They would drag them all day, then weigh up at the close of the day to get paid.  Bless them, this looks like back breaking work.  What do we have to complain about?  This is 11X14"

  1. Beautiful. I hope I get the chance to see this one at the house before it's sold. Maybe it won't last long . . .
