This work is to date, my masterpiece. It took me two years to bring into creation from endless research, concept drawings, to finished painting. It was a genuine labour of love, and it tested my skills to the limit.

What is your process for fleshing out your subjects' faces and physicality, Maria? I have looked at each closely, imagining their stories and relationships. Where do you begin to create them?
I became a big fan of Rockwell's work after someone mentioned that this painting was Rockwellian in style when I finished it in 2023. My research into Rockwell made me realise we used very similar techniques, though I arrived at mine through trial and error.
Feast or famine - the flood during the decade long Dust Bowl.😬
There were three in a row with a span of a decade in between, give or take. 1927, 1937 then again in 1945. Though, I know little about the other two.

I often wonder what happened to the people I painted. But I guess I'll probably never know.
I'm working on trying to get my work seen. It relies on a lot of luck though. 🤞🏼🙏🏽😊
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday too.
I'm glad it fits in our house because I'll probably never sell it unless someone offers me millions. 😁

O'm going o take a brak and pop over t my email (haven't checked it since a few days back lol) and will update you on what we were discussing last.
Rockwell in the way it really draws you in and connects you with each person
