"The Sharecropper's Wife"

12" x 21"  watercolor matted and framed   $450.00

Her back is aching. She has bent over the crops in the hot sun all day long and still has to catch the chicken for dinner.  She is young and hardy and beautiful underneath her headscarf.  Her children help when they can, but she wants to make certain they get an education first.  Her vegetable garden is filled with lots of greens, beans, root veggies, potatoes and herbs.

"The Sharecropper"

12" x 21" watercolor framed and matted  $450.00

He has been working in the fields all day.  He is tired and ready for dinner.  After dinner he will feed the pigs and cattle and milk the cows.  He is a proud man, making his own wages, selling and bartering to make ends meet and to send his children to school to get the best education they can.   by God.
