While touring the African American Museum of I-story and Culture in Washington, D.C. I viewed the original film clip that this painting is based upon. It was a real treat to see the clip. It felt good to know that my inspiration was a proud woman that made ends meet by providing, through difficult times for her self and family. Make it a point to visit this museum.

Hello Alga, Wow. That is a memory one doesn't soon forget. It shows what our elders had to go through to make ends meet. Peace, O.

Hi Otis, love this. My father remembers making 30 cents for 100 pounds of cotton and he as a young boy picked 200 pounds a day from sun up to sun down. He is 94.
